EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 19th century, showcasing the hard work of an agricultural worker. Titled "Woman Raking Hay" this piece was created in 1853 by Jacques-Adrien Lavieille, based on his drawing made in 1852. Lavieille's artistry beautifully portrays the essence of farm life during that era. The image depicts a female farmhand diligently raking hay, highlighting the manual labor involved in farming during this time period. Her posture exudes strength and determination as she carries out her occupation with grace. The wood engraving technique used adds depth to the image, enhancing its visual impact. Lavieille's work pays homage to Jean-François Millet, a renowned French artist known for his realistic portrayals of rural life. This connection further emphasizes the significance of agriculture as an integral part of European heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this print is housed within their prestigious collection of prints and drawings. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and offers insight into the daily lives and struggles faced by those who worked tirelessly on farms centuries ago. As we admire this powerful artwork, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also recognize the contributions made by countless individuals like this woman who dedicated their lives to sustaining our communities through their hard work in agriculture.
