Description

Originally a painter of historical scenes, Jules Breton began to shift his focus away from historicity to agrarian scenes. One of the paintings produced as a result of this new focus was The Weeders, which Breton painted after observing a group of farmers in his home town of Courrières picking over a field to clear away weeds and thistle.[1]
