The Farmer's Home--Harvest
A rural scene with a wheat field (right side of image) where four farmhands pitch bundles of grain onto a cart drawn by two oxen standing beside an open gate. At left, across the road, is a large, three-story greyish-white house with green shutters; a woman stands on the front porch and children play in the enclosed front garden. At the far left, a rooster and chickens are in the yard behind a wooden rail fence. Behind the house is a wooded hillside. On the dirt road in the right middle distance, there is a horse and buggy with two passengers. A river and distant mountains comprise the right background.
