EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "The Farmer's Rest," Circa 1915 This evocative painting captures a moment of quiet intimacy between a weary farmer and his wife as they take in the beauty of their hard-earned harvest. The couple stands hand in hand, gazing out over their sprawling fields, their faces reflecting the contentment and satisfaction that comes from a day's labor well done. The farmer, dressed in work clothes and with a rake rested on one shoulder, exudes a sense of strength and resilience, while his wife, in a simple dress and apron, embodies the nurturing and supportive role of the farm wife. The warm colors of the painting, with the golden hues of the fields and the deep greens of the foliage, create a sense of tranquility and harmony. This beautiful work of art is believed to date back to circa 1915 and is a testament to the deep connection between the land, the people who work it, and the natural rhythms of rural life. The painting is a treasure from the March of the Women Collection, a vast archive of historical images from James Sherriffs Gauld, a renowned Scottish publisher and picture dealer. This particular image can be found in Volume 6, June, of the collection, which showcases a wide range of photographs and illustrations from the early 20th century. The painting is a poignant reminder of a simpler time, when the bonds between people and the land were unbroken, and the beauty of nature was a constant source of inspiration and sustenance.
