Walter Atkinson, Rural Harvest Scene with Figures and Oxen
Description
Oil on board painting by Walter Atkinson, signed in the lower right corner. The composition depicts a group of agricultural labourers, both men and women, engaged in processing a harvest of yellow produce in a rural outdoor setting. In the mid-ground, a male figure stands with a team of oxen hitched to a high-wheeled cart. The foreground includes prickly pear cacti, suggesting a Mediterranean or Southern European locale. The work is executed in a realist style with impressionistic influences, featuring broad brushwork and areas of heavy impasto. Faint incised marks are present in the upper left corner. A small auction lot sticker numbered 501 is attached to the lower right. The painting is unframed.
30.5 cm x 46 cm.
