This work belongs to the most authentic and representative thematic core of Enrico Ursella's artistic production. The painting depicts an agricultural landscape brought to life by figures of peasants intent on their work—a subject in which the artist expressed his vision of the rural world with the greatest intensity, a world he knew intimately, being himself the son of farmers from Buja. Created around 1930, the painting belongs to the artist's period of full maturity, when his style—refined under the guidance of Ettore Tito at the Venice Academy and later in advanced courses in Rome—reached a balance between fidelity to truth and a typically Friulian color sensitivity. The choice of panel as a support gives the work a compact textural quality, which enhances the solidity of the figures and the controlled luminosity of the landscape
