The Sower: Outskirts of Arles in the Background

A painted sower in a yellow tunic and red cap strides across a deep blue-violet field under a yellow sky. Thick, swirling brushstrokes fill the furrowed ground, while a farmhouse, distant figures and factory chimneys line the horizon of the Arles outskirts.

Español: El sembrador: afueras de Arlés al fondo

Un sembrador pintado, con túnica amarilla y gorra roja, avanza por un campo de tono azul violáceo bajo un cielo amarillo. Pinceladas gruesas y arremolinadas cubren el suelo surcado, mientras una granja, figuras lejanas y chimeneas de fábrica bordean el horizonte de las afueras de Arlés.

Português: O semeador: arredores de Arles ao fundo

Um semeador pintado, de túnica amarela e boné vermelho, caminha por um campo azul-violeta profundo sob um céu amarelo. Pinceladas espessas e redemoinhadas preenchem o solo sulcado, enquanto uma fazenda, figuras distantes e chaminés de fábrica marcam o horizonte dos arredores de Arles.
