A Ploughed Field, 1923
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of rural life in the early 20th century. Created by renowned artist John Sell Cotman, this watercolor drawing beautifully captures the essence of the British countryside and its agricultural heritage. In this picturesque scene, a lone farmer can be seen diligently working his plow across the vast expanse of brown earth. The rolling hills in the background add depth and dimension to the composition, while also hinting at the challenging terrain that farmers had to navigate during their daily tasks. Cotman's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he skillfully depicts each furrow created by the plow and carefully renders every contour of the landscape. The muted color palette adds a sense of tranquility and nostalgia to this romanticized portrayal of rural life. This artwork belongs to Cotman's Norwich School style, which was characterized by its regionalism and emphasis on capturing local landscapes with an artistic flair. "A Ploughed Field" exemplifies these qualities perfectly, showcasing Cotman's mastery in depicting both natural beauty and human labor within one harmonious composition. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of our rich agricultural history and pays homage to those who worked tirelessly on these fields. It invites us into a world where man coexists with nature, reminding us of our connection to land and tradition.
