The Diggers

Millet, Daubigny and Barbizon, 1855

The image shows two individuals actively working in a field. One person is using a long-handled tool to dig into the ground, while the other person is standing nearby with a similar tool. Both individuals have short hair and wear long-sleeved tops and trousers. One person wears a cap, and the other's hat is on the ground. The ground is rough with rocks and sparse vegetation. The background shows an open landscape with distant hills and a cloudy sky.
