About this work

This sketch shows four people working in a field. Two women in long dresses and hats kneel or bend down, one holding a bundle of hay. A man in a cap also kneels, and another woman stands nearby, also with a bundle. The lines are loose and quick, like hurried notes. The title *Haymakers* suggests these are farmworkers at harvest. The rough, sketchy style makes it feel like a quick study rather than a finished work. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of this artist’s work.
