Le repos des moissonneurs (tekening):
Thema uit de schilderkunst
zie Bruegel: De oogst
In La
Moisson (The Harvest, cat. no. 21) Death and the Kaiser look on
approvingly at the good labor of the grim reaper. Exquisitely cynical,
Death chews on a shaft of wheat whose fecund head, silhouetted against
the burning sun, offers the promise of future harvests. The outsized face
that stares out from the dark of the windmill seems to be a direct
quotation from Bruegel's Dulle Griet (Antwerp, Museum Mayer van den
Berghe), but it is probably just the remains of an abandoned composition.
