"Workers in a Cotton Field" is a painting by the American artist William Aiken Walker (1839–1921), known for his visual documentation of the American South during the post-Civil War period. This particular work is part of Walker's extensive oeuvre that focuses on genre scenes depicting African American life, particularly the lives of sharecroppers and plantation laborers in the rural South.

The painting is executed in Walker's characteristic style, which combines elements of realism and a documentary-like approach to subject matter. "Workers in a Cotton Field" portrays African American laborers engaged in the arduous task of picking cotton. The composition typically features figures bent over in the fields, with the cotton plants and the vast expanse of the plantation setting playing a significant role in the background. Walker's attention to detail not only captures the physicality of the labor but also provides insight into the social and economic conditions of the time.

Walker's work has been both praised for its historical value and critiqued for its potential reinforcement of racial stereotypes. His paintings are often studied within the context of the Reconstruction era in the American South, a period marked by significant social and economic changes. "Workers in a Cotton Field" is emblematic of Walker's artistic legacy, offering a window into the daily lives of the rural working class, while also raising questions about the representation of race and the legacy of slavery in American art.

As with many of Walker's paintings, "Workers in a Cotton Field" is sought after by collectors and institutions, and is considered an important piece for understanding the visual culture of the American South in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting is also representative of the genre of Southern genre painting, which sought to capture the everyday scenes and social realities of the region.
