EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: Workhorses Under The Sun Circa 1915, this evocative painting captures the essence of rural life during an era when horses were the backbone of agricultural labor. The image depicts a hardworking farmer, dressed in weathered clothing, skillfully guiding his pair of workhorses as they plough the fertile fields under the relentless sun. The horses, their coats glistening with sweat, seem to strain against their harnesses, their determination matched only by their master's. The vibrant colors of the painting bring the scene to life, with the rich, golden hues of the ripe crops contrasting sharply against the deep, earthy tones of the soil. The sun, a fiery orb casting long shadows across the landscape, adds an air of intensity and urgency to the scene. This painting, a testament to the resilience and dedication of rural laborers, was published in a magazine volume from January 1916. The image, which has been preserved in the esteemed March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the rhythm of nature and the strength of the workhorses dictated the pace of life. The painter, Percy Lancaster, masterfully captures the raw beauty and unyielding spirit of rural life, inviting us to reflect on the sacrifices and triumphs of those who toiled the land generations ago. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring connection between man, horse, and the land, a bond that transcends time and continues to shape our understanding of the world around us.
