Going to work

Jean-François Millet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a monochromatic drawing of a man and woman in a field. The woman wears a long dress and a head covering. She faces the viewer with her head downcast. The man beside her wears a hat, a shirt, and pants. He holds a pitchfork over his shoulder with one hand on the handle. His other hand is on his hip. The background shows a vast field with sparse vegetation and a cloudy sky. A piece of farm equipment sits on the left side of the horizon, and two distant figures are on the right. The paper is beige with darker edges.
