WHOLESALE ANDREWS, SYBIL – WINGS

Original size: 36.3 x 31.5cm. Compare with ‘Tillers of the Soil’. Whilst the ploughman still guides the plough, here, instead of the horses, a tractor does the heavy work. But this too is an archetypal scene: there’s the plough, the furrow and the crying of the prospecting gulls in search of the nourishment being revealed by the ploughers.
