Potato Lifting

William Strang

National Gallery of Art

A drawing of two figures walking alongside a fence with trees in the background. The figures are barefoot and carrying burdens on their shoulders as they walk on a path bordered by rustic elements. The scene includes distant figures bending towards the ground, possibly engaged in agricultural labor. The foreground captures the detail of the figures' expressions and attire. The style suggests meticulous line work and shading common in 19th-century etching.
