A masterpiece of abstract post-impressionism. Oil painting on jute canvas. 18th century. Young, beautiful, thin Ukrainian peasant women in a field reap ripe wheat with sickles. They converse among themselves, smiling.
An oil painting depicts three young women harvesting wheat in a field under a bright sky with mountains in the background. The women are all dressed in traditional peasant clothing, including headscarves and long-sleeved blouses with embroidery. The woman on the left, with a red headscarf and a white blouse with red and orange floral embroidery, is kneeling and cutting wheat with a sickle, holding a bunch of wheat in her left hand. The woman in the center, wearing a white headscarf and a yellow blouse, is smiling and looking at the woman on the right, holding a large bundle of wheat in her arms. The woman on the right, with a yellow headscarf and a white blouse with red and orange embroidery, is also smiling and looking at the woman in the center, holding a sickle in her right hand. Her skirt is blue. The field is golden with ripe wheat stalks. In the distance, a small white house with a red roof is visible against a backdrop of blue mountains and a partly cloudy sky. The painting uses thick brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette, characteristic of impressionistic or post-impressionistic styles.
