Note du spécialiste

According to Dr. Joachim Pissarro, the artist completed a series of canvases in 1881 of rural women, which mostly depicted peasant women in various positions of rest, often seated, leaning, or lying on the ground. In keeping with this series, Paysanne à la fourche depicts a woman leaning on her pitchfork with a standing woman behind her and the two female figures wear simple costumes and are depicted as strong and hardy rather than willowy and graceful.
