a poor farmer of low social status who owns or rents a small piece of land for cultivation

A well-dressed landowner stands nearby pointing at the meager crops while holding a rent collection bag. The landowner's fine clothes and confident posture contrast sharply with the farmer's humble appearance. Other farm workers in simple clothing tend to nearby fields with basic tools. a poor farmer of low social status who works a small piece of land for survival
