"Embracing the Land: The Resilient Spirit of Small Holders" Step back in time to 18th century Scotland, where a determined crofter with whip and basket tends to his land. This engraving from 1803 captures the essence of hard work and dedication. Moving forward, we find ourselves at Shoreham witnessing the timeless act of ploughing. With pencil and chalk on paper, this scene depicts the unwavering commitment to cultivating the earth. Transport yourself to a sunny day in 1869 as "Sweet Summer Time" comes alive on an oil panel. The small holder's labor is rewarded by bountiful crops that paint a picturesque landscape. In another masterpiece from 1863, a peasant leads her cow and sheep towards fertile fields. Through delicate pastel strokes, we witness her connection with nature and her livestock. Delving into history further, we encounter "Detail of Summer" painted in 1576. This exquisite oil canvas showcases how small holders have been integral to sustaining communities for centuries. As autumn arrives in c. 1585-90, "Grape Harvest" unfolds on yet another captivating canvas. Amidst vibrant colors, small holders diligently gather their harvest while celebrating nature's abundance. "The Haymaker, " immortalized on an oil canvas, transports us to simpler times when haymaking was both arduous and rewarding work. We can almost feel the warmth emanating from this serene scene. With pastel on paper techniques perfected in c. 1887 comes "Haymaking. " Here we witness small holders capturing summer's essence through their artistry while preserving nourishment for winter days ahead. A glimpse into daily life reveals "The Sheep Shearer, " captured skillfully with pencil strokes on paper. This humble depiction reminds us of the importance placed upon every aspect of farming livelihoods. In 1859, a reaper sharpens his scythe amidst tranquil surroundings portrayed through pencil on paper.
