Subject: Hispanic laborers
Occasion: Times of hardship for Hispanic laborers
Audience: Upper-class hispanics
Purpose: To emphasize the lifestyle and hardships of Hispanic laborers.
Speaker: The working class (the Hispanic laborers)
Tone: Sympathetic
The theme of this painting is that the laborers had a hard life and were defined by their work. The characters in this painting have no faces and are blended in with the background of the field. They also appear to be weak. We can assume from this painting that Diego Rivera may have once suffered through these hardships, and/or that he wanted to help these people by bringing their hardships to the attention of others.
