Roadmen at rest
1911
Take a break, boys! In this charming 1911 scene, Dorothy Richmond captures a group of roadmen catching a well-deserved rest beside a winding country road. You can see their shovels and picks tossed carelessly in the foreground, proof of the hard labor they've been doing before pausing to chat. The landscape is framed by tall, slender poplar trees and soft blue mountains in the distance, painted with a loose, impressionistic touch that makes the whole valley feel breezy and alive.
