EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Robert Hills' masterpiece, "Oxen Ploughing a Downland Field". The painting, rendered in watercolor on paper, measures 8.2x12.1 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Captured by Photo eAgnew s of London, this image transports us to the English countryside during the late 18th century. In this scene, we witness rural laborers engaged in the timeless task of ploughing a field with oxen. The idyllic English landscape stretches out before them as they navigate the undulating terrain of the South Downs. Dressed in traditional smocks, these farm workers epitomize the essence of agricultural life during this period. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures not only the physical exertion involved but also highlights the intricate mechanisms and coupling required for such work. The oxen stand at attention, their strength harnessed to pull the plough through fertile soil. Hills' painting beautifully encapsulates both the beauty and hardships associated with farming in southern England during that era. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience while showcasing an essential aspect of rural life. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Hills' skillful brushwork and his ability to capture a moment frozen in time—a glimpse into our agrarian past that continues to resonate today.
