A peasant woman rakes hay, 1937

Two figures push a loaded handcart along the edge of a field past a bush; then, alone in a wide flat meadow under a pale sky, an old woman in a white headscarf and long dark skirt rakes the hay into rows, trees small on the horizon. It is an image of rural labour that had changed little in a century.
