Description:

This painting depicts a stylized and vibrant coastal landscape with a focus on figures engaged in agricultural labor. The composition is divided into three horizontal bands: a foreground of green fields and yellow harvested crops, a middle ground of a large, rounded, green and brown hill, and a background of a deep blue sea and a distant horizon. In the foreground, two figures are harvesting, their bodies bent over the field. The artist uses a non-naturalistic palette, with the harvested crops painted in a bright, almost luminous yellow. The forms are simplified and outlined, giving the painting a flat, decorative quality. A small red animal, possibly a dog or a deer, stands out brightly in the lower right, and stylized white forms, possibly bales of hay or resting figures, are scattered nearby. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, where the human figures are integrated into the rhythmic, simplified forms of the landscape. The style is characteristic of the Post-Impressionist or Symbolist movements, which prioritized emotional and symbolic content over strict realism.
