EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Dawn Labour, 1900" captures a beautiful scene painted by French artist Jules Breton. This oil on canvas masterpiece measures 58.8x81.8 cm and is part of a private collection. In this artwork, Breton skillfully portrays the relationship between humans and nature during the early twentieth century in rural France. The image showcases a small group of women working diligently in the countryside at daybreak, engaging in the laborious task of haymaking. Their bare feet and simple blouses reflect their humble status as they toil under the natural light of dawn. Despite their poverty-stricken circumstances, these hardworking individuals exude strength and determination as they kneel down to harvest crops. With heads turned towards each other, their friendly expressions convey camaraderie amidst challenging working conditions. Breton's attention to detail is evident through his precise brushstrokes that depict every garment accessory worn by these caucasian women. The artist's signature can be seen on this painting along with its date - 1900. This artwork not only serves as a window into nineteenth-century rural life but also highlights the resilience and fortitude of those who relied on manual labor for their livelihoods. It reminds us of the beauty found within everyday scenes and pays homage to those whose tireless efforts shaped our history.
