Barge Haulers is a 1893 oil by Lajos Deák Ébner, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting shows a group of men pulling a boat along a riverbank. They're all dressed in working clothes, and some are barefoot. The men are straining to pull the rope, and their faces show effort and concentration. In the background, there's a hazy landscape with trees and hills. The overall mood of the painting is one of hard work and struggle. The artist has used earthy tones to depict the scene, which adds to the sense of realism.
