18th century Spanish school ‘Peasant couple’

Oil on canvas. Pair of compositions depicting a male and female peasant working outdoors. The figures, highly expressive, stand out against a natural background treated with dramatic lighting and earthy tones, evoking traditional genre painting and the Goyaesque style in their treatment of character and clothing.
