Dutch artist Piet Mondrian painted this early scene of laborers working on farmland, before developing his famous abstract geometric style. The work shows his naturalistic beginnings in the Dutch landscape tradition.
Mondrian's early career included many landscape and rural subjects before he moved toward pure abstraction. This painting is at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague.

About At Work / On the Land
You can see it at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, which holds the world's largest Mondrian collection.
No, this is from his early naturalistic period. Mondrian later became famous for abstract compositions of lines and primary colors.
Before his iconic abstract grids, Mondrian painted Dutch landscapes and farmland. His early figurative work shows a gradual evolution toward the geometric abstraction he later became famous for.
