Under the Shadow of the Evening Sun.

We see here a beautifull picture in a natural composition. It's the end of the day and the harvest has been finished. The people who worked the whole day in the shining sun , are here in the shadow of the evening sun. In the background we see the steam driven agricultural engine.That's for sure the reason this picture was made.

Just before he will take the picture the fotograph asked mother Eulalie to put her head of straw out of the central picture in order to accentuate the expression of her face. Nothing was then disturbing this peacefull scene unless on the downside of the picture we see the impression of a chicken who passed for a too short time picking some grains and who was not aware of what was going on.
