The author, the autodidact painter, Joaquim de Miró (Sitges, 1849 – 1914), was a member of the Luminista School in Sitges. This colouristic and meticulous work is characterized by painting daily scenes and local countryside.

In this case Joaquim de Miró represented a usual scene during harvest time in a little village where till then farming, malmsey wine production and commercialization have been one of the local economy bases."
