The Peasants Returning From The Fields
There are other parallels between the second figure on the right and the peasant woman on the right in drawings at the Uffizi's Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe collection.The composition looks out from a high point onto the vista, on a countryside punctuated by trees and a horizon that falls, more or less, at the middle of the painting.Various people, in small scale, specify the moment of representation in the style of genre paintings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.There are a series of peasants returning after work in the fields and a wagon with a man riding a horse that seems to stop for a flock of sheep along the road.The sky is furrowed by bare canvas, which echoes the diagonal lines visible in the painting's lower half.
