Description: | David Murray has painted hop-pickers having their midday break, known as nooning. One woman is still picking hops from a vine into the big trough-like sack. Filled sacks are piled on the wagon in the background. The hops were for making beer, and the main English hop fields were in Kent, near London. David Murray was a Scottish artist, who moved to London in 1882. He painted this large and detailed picture for exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1889 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Sir David Murray (ARA) | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
