Escogedoras de café

Escogedoras de café (Coffee Pickers) (1939) is a painting by the Ecuadorian social realist artist Alba Calderón. It is one of her most remarkable and complex paintings. In this tropical-colored painting, peasants are toiling on a coffee plantation overseen by a majordomo with a sheathed machete. The peasants are portrayed as a collective, individuality does not matter; that is why their faces are not shown or are covered by sombreros.
