$1,600.00
An atmospheric depiction of countryside labor, gathering hay, featuring two charismatic horses and two hardworking lads. Haystacks multiply into the distance where other tiny figures work, and a village is hinted at with the tower of a castle or a church at the horizon. The sky is serene with a subtle glow in the clouds. Good antique condition with some surface patina, light wear and two areas showing light abrasion. Housed in an attractive 20th century frame.
