Can you say that with me? "Crossher with hat, seen from behind!" Excellent! Now, a crossher is a very important job, it's someone who cuts and gathers grain. That's how people used to get food a long, long time ago! nn Now, close your eyes for a second and imagine you're in the countryside. Can you feel the soft grass under your feet? Can you smell the fresh air? That's what it feels like to be in this painting! nn nn Open your eyes! What's the first thing you notice about this painting? Yes, it's in black and white, like an old photograph! And look, we can only see the man from behind. It's like he's walking away from us on a little adventure. Where do you think he's going? nn See the tools in his hands? He needs those for his important job as a crossher. The artist made sure to draw them very carefully so we know how important they are! nn nn Even though we can't see the crossher's face, do you think he looks happy or sad? Maybe he's tired after a long day of work. Or maybe he's excited to go home and see his family! What do you think? nn This painting is like a little window into the past. It shows us how people lived and worked many years ago. Isn't it amazing that we can still learn from a painting made so long ago? nn nn Now, let's go on an adventure through the rest of the museum and see what other stories we can uncover!
