Description from the seller
In this rural scene by Jan van Dam we see several farm workers at work in the field. In the foreground two women are bent over the harvest, while further on other figures work among baskets and crops. Van Dam uses mostly calm earth tones, with small accents in green, red, and blue. The low horizon and the expansive cloud-filled sky give the painting a great sense of space and depth; in the distance a few sailing boats provide a subtle contrast to the heavy labor on the land. Taken together, it offers a atmospheric view of daily life in the Dutch countryside.
Jan van Dam (1857–1927) was a Dutch painter, born and died in Leiden. He primarily worked in and around Leiden and mostly painted landscapes, but he also created portraits, still lifes, and genre scenes. Van Dam drew many of his subjects from the surroundings of Leiden and captured the landscape and everyday life there in a recognizable, naturalistic manner. He is thus regarded as a regional painter and a forerunner of the Leiden School. His works are, among others, in the collection of Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden.
