    This painting by Fernando C Amorsolo depicts Filipino workers harvesting perales. It aims to represent the unique character of hardworking Filipinos and the cultural practice of eating together after work. The painting demonstrates the principles of visual arts - unity is shown through the smooth texture and bright colors used; rhythm is seen in the movement between workers and changing light; and proportion is depicted through the roles of men and women and the bright, green environment. While somewhat unbalanced, it creates a realistic and dramatic effect representative of Philippine culture.
