The painting "Semeadores" is a painting of two workers in a field. The artists of this painting was Mexican and most likely grew up around an agricultural area around farming. His intended audience was most likely upperclass members of society who don't get to see what goes into giving them their luxurys.
The purpose of this painting was to show those upperclass people that they shouldn't take for granted what they have because of the hat labor that was put into those things. Some artistic techniques that were used to show that the laborers were hard at work are the fact that the artist makes their frets meld into the ground and the shape of the worker's back go with the hills in the background. Also the worker is connected to the land is the strokes of the land and his body go in the same direction showing some unity. Showing the unity between the land and it's workers shows how they belong there and perhaps that they worked for so long and hard on the land that the become part of it in a way
