The Weary Ploughman, 1858
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching and drypoint print by Samuel Palmer. This artwork, measuring 13.2x20.1 cm, can be found in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. In this evocative piece, Palmer skillfully captures the essence of rural life in nineteenth-century England. The weary ploughman stands prominently amidst a picturesque landscape, his tired figure reflecting the toil and hardship that comes with working the land. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he depicts every element of farm life with precision and sensitivity. From the rolling hills and fertile soil to the rustic farmhouse in the distance, each aspect contributes to an authentic portrayal of agricultural existence during this era. Palmer's use of etching and drypoint techniques adds depth and texture to his composition. The subtle overworking in brushwork creates a softness that enhances both the natural beauty of nature and emphasizes the weariness on display. "The Weary Ploughman" serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to our environment and highlights humanity's reliance on agriculture for sustenance. It invites viewers to contemplate not only physical labor but also its emotional toll on those who work tirelessly under challenging circumstances. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Palmer's mastery while offering insight into historical farming practices through artistry—a testament to how visual representations can transcend time and capture universal human experiences.
