Contadino con la zappa

Georges Seurat, circa 1882

This painting shows a person in an agricultural setting. The background is made of horizontal bands of browns and greens, painted in short, overlapping strokes. In the center, the person is bent over, facing the right and raising a thin tool above their head. The person is dressed in a blue shirt and brown pants and appears to have pale skin. There is an area of pinkish gray on their head, perhaps suggesting hair or a hat. The person is painted in the same short, overlapping strokes, giving them a blurred appearance with little detail.
