EDITORS COMMENTS
This side profile portrait painting, titled 'The Land Girl,' dates back to circa 1922 and is a beautiful representation of rural life during that era. The young girl in the image is deeply engrossed in her gardening tasks, her determined expression evident as she firmly grasps the wooden handle of her gardening tool. The baggy shirt she wears is practical for her work in the countryside, while the sun hat shields her from the elements. The rich colours of the painting bring the scene to life, with the verdant hues of the land and the girl's rosy cheeks adding to the idyllic setting. This artwork is a testament to the resilience and hard work of women during this period, who played a crucial role in agriculture and food production while men were away at war. The image was first published in the April 16, 1922, volume of a popular women's magazine, adding to its historical significance. The artist behind this masterpiece is Mia Arnesby Brown, whose works were widely admired for their depiction of everyday life and the spirit of the times. This painting is a treasure trove of history, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the important contributions of women in agriculture.
