Mlocka in Ukraine, Wyczólkowski, Leon 1852–1936, pastel, 1912, 44 x 68 cm. Depicts steam-powered threshing machines locomobiles with high chimneys, groups of women bustling around them, carts with sheaves, large stacks of straw, and haystack wagons in the foreground. Scene recorded at the Podhorski Konela estate. Wyczólkowski treated the motif in both graphic art and painting; a lithograph in lithographic crayon 26 x 37 cm and a related drawing in lithographic crayon depict the same motif. The steam-powered threshing machines were widely used in the 19th and early 20th centuries to power agricultural machinery on farms; a steam-powered threshing machine operated by four people could thresh up to 1,000 sheaves per day versus 80 with flails. The first steam engine in agriculture in Poland was used in 1857; mobile locomotives were produced later and remained in use on large estates into the mid-20th century. Style: Young Poland; subject: rural landscape, harvest, summer, agriculture; medium: pastel., A framed landscape painting showing a broad sky with pale cream and light gray cloud textures above a darker gray-blue band, a low horizon with a golden brown hill or haystack, a strip of green fields and earth tones in the foreground, and small blemishes of red and muted blue among the vegetation; the frame is ornate and metallic gold with a ridged outer edge and smooth inner molding.
