The Sowers

Archie Thompson, after Olof Krans

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an open field being farmed. The horizon is visible, with farmers using horses to pull plows. Men are seen walking with satchels, spreading seeds, while a woman holds a measuring stick. More farmers with plows are visible in the distance, creating depth. The color palette consists of earthy browns, blues, and subtle warm tones.
