Description:
The work was painted in 1887 and shown the same year at the National Exhibition in Venice. Fattori came to be one of the leading Italian plein-air painters of landscape with figures. Considered by Fattori himself as one of his best works, a summary of the poetics of realism that permeated his pictures of the landscape and people of the Maremma, the painting was reproduced by him in a splendid etching that had a wide circulation.
