This image reinforces the idea that serfs worked the land surrounding the manor house; however, it is idealized because in many cases the working conditions were inappropriate.
Manorialism was an economic system that was very common in England and other European countries during the Middle ages. In this system there were two main sectors:
- Lord of the Manor: The owner of the property including land
- Serfs: People who worked in the land of the lord of the manor
The image presented reinforces the idea of the serfs working the land that surrounds the house of the lord of the manor. Indeed, the image shows a group of workers with plowing tools, and they are near to a big house, which is likely to be the house of the lord.
Despite this, the image idealizes the working conditions because workers in the image wear nice clothes and they do not even look tired. However, working conditions were often quite hard and some workers were exploited by the lord.
