Description
This bronze statue by Constantin Meunier is a part of Meunier's great yet unfinished artistic project the "Glorification of Labour" which had the ambition of representing numerous "types" from the different tasks the population accomplished to earn a living. Here the reaping in the fields is represented, a laborious and fastidious task that takes place in the summer.
Meunier's reprentation is "realist" as belonging to the artistic movement of realism: he makes the choice to represent what the daily life of the developping working class looks like.
