Title

Farm hands, 1922. Creator: Edmund Blampied.

Caption

Farm hands, 1922. There is an element of drudgery in the expressions and absolute profiles of the farm hands of the title, who are tipping vegetables into a barrel. They are well past their first youth, and almost certainly the artist is honouring the dignity of unskilled rural labour.
