Cabbage field and farm is a 1887 watercolor by Henry Bailey, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet farm scene with two people working in a cabbage field. One person stands with a basket, while another walks nearby with a tool. Chickens peck around the green plants, and hay bales sit in the background. A small house with a thatched roof and trees line the horizon under a soft, cloudy sky. The artist used light brushstrokes to show the play of sunlight on the crops and clouds. The colors feel fresh and natural, with greens, browns, and soft blues blending together.

Henry Bailey spent his life in the damp green hills of Worcestershire, where he’d trudge through cabbage fields every morning with a pocketful of watercolors.
