More about this artwork

Albert Engström's "Farmers in Längshult" presents a vivid and compelling tableau from 1907, showcasing a moment of rustic profundity among three elderly men. These figures, dressed in traditional attire of the early 20th century, are engaged in what appears to be a serious discussion or contemplation around a simple wooden table. Each character brings a unique expression to the scene, suggesting a narrative rich with personal and communal histories.On the left, a man in a buttoned coat, his face marked by lines of age and eyes wide with concern or surprise, grasps a small cylindrical object that he is either examining closely or about to use. The central figure, showing signs of fatigue or frustration, clenches his fist as he sits deep in thought or perhaps resignation. Completing the trio, the figure on the right, with his bushy beard and a monocle, leans forward as if emphasizing a point or keenly listening to a counterargument from his companions.The presence of a couple of simple glasses and what appears to be a bottle, possibly containing spirits, introduces a traditional element of social gathering among rural communities. Engström’s choice of clear, bold lines and minimal detail focuses the viewer's attention on the expressive faces and gestures of the men, evoking a timeless sense of community dialogue and the nuances of rural life.This artwork not only captures a specific cultural and historical moment but also highlights Engström's skill in portraying human emotions and social interactions.
