About this work
In the foreground farmers are working in the field and on the land. They are sowing, mowing, plowing and digging. In the background construction and harvesting are taking place. These farmers represent the largest part of the population, the third estate. They must work to feed the rest of the population. Below the image an explanatory text in Latin. This print is part of an album.
