The painting Threshing; oil on canvas, by Charles Alexandre Coessin de la Fosse. These women are using flails to separate the seed from the stalks. The artist has chosen to paint the women on a large scale, giving their work a heroic quality. Their simple dress, bare feet and traditional bonnets suggest that they belong to a small rural community on the French coast (sea is visible in the background). Buy this as a framed art print, canvas art print or art poster.
