Not on view
A rural farmyard summertime scene: at center, a woman (dressed in a bonnet and apron) feeds chickens, ducks and a turkey; she is assisted by two children -- one dressed in red (seen from behind) who reaches for the grain in her mother's basket and a smaller child dressed in blue. In the left foreground, there are a pair of pigs (one black pig sniffs at cabbages). In the central background, on a dirt path beside by rustic buildings, cows and a farm hand approach a wooden barn at far left; behind a wooden fence in the central middle distance, there is a vista of fields and rolling hills. At the right of the image, behind a picket fence, there is a farmhouse showing an entry porch and three windows.
