Description: | The painting depicts the front yard of a peasant dwelling. On the left is a table at which a man and a woman are seated. The table is replete with fruit and vegetables. Behind it is a peasant woman with a basket of produce. Behind the seated woman, in the centre of the painting, is a peasant man at his ease, smoking a pipe. On the right side of the painting, another man and woman have entered, bearing an enormous basket, groaning under its burden of fruit and vegetables. The scene is one calculated to suggest the abundance and bucolic ease of harvest time. It is typical of the sort of subject artists in the low countries adopted after the restrictions imposed on religious images under Calvinism. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure (peasants); still life (fruit vegetables) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lambrechts, Jan Baptist (Dutch painter, 1680-1731) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Horemans, Jan Josef, I (Flemish painter, 1682-1752) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8694... | Go to resource |
