EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th or early 20th century print captures the essence of a simple yet joyful moment in the harvest season. Titled "People picking plums," the image features a woman standing on a wooden ladder, her back towards the viewer, as she shakes a heavy plum branch. The plums rain down onto a second woman below, who holds out a woven basket to catch the ripe fruit. Two children, dressed in clothing typical of the era, laugh and playfully reach up to pluck a few plums for themselves. The scene exudes a sense of warmth and community, as the women work together to gather the bounty from the laden plum tree. The use of natural colors and watercolor paints adds to the authenticity and charm of the image, transporting us back in time to the Low Countries of Europe during the 1880s to 1910s. The intricate details of the clothing, the tree's foliage, and the children's expressions all contribute to the rich heritage art of this historic period. The print is a beautiful reminder of the connection between people, nature, and the seasons, and serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of rural life and the simple pleasures of harvesting the fruits of the land.
