More about this artwork

George Morland's evocative sketch "The Mid-Day Meal" from the 1790s captures the simplicity and solitary moments of rural life during that era. This delicate drawing portrays a seated male figure, taking a pause from his labor to enjoy a modest meal. The man is comfortably dressed in a casual attire suitable for work, including breeches and a loose shirt, accented by a brightly colored neckerchief. His relaxed posture and gaze suggest a moment of leisure amidst nature.The artwork’s sketchy style, with soft pencil strokes, emphasizes the casual yet intimate nature of the scene. Morland's skill in capturing everyday moments and his attention to the humane aspects of his subjects are vividly apparent here.

George Morland (26 June 1763 – 29 October 1804) was an English painter. His early work was influenced by Francis Wheatley, but after the 1790s he came into his own style. His best compositions focus on rustic scenes: farms and hunting; smugglers and gypsies; and rich, textured landscapes informed by Dutch Golden Age painting.
