A farmer leans into the shafts of a loaded cart, his body bent to the work, and the scene is less a portrait of one man than a symbol of toil and perseverance. Allegorical engravings like this were a popular way for printmakers to teach moral lessons through everyday labor, casting the working figure as a stand-in for diligence and endurance. The cart moves by human strength alone, a reminder that much farm work once depended on muscle long before tractors filled the fields.
