DescriptionAn emaciated man (indentured slave) is cutting maize in a large field of corn. He only wears a pair of shorts with his shirtless back to the viewer. His back muscles and ribs are prominently detailed. A man on a horseback follows three slaves who are carrying large sacks on their backs heading towards the building in the left background. A sign on the front of the building says "Hacienda".On View
