This painting depicts a man in a red jacket and black hat, standing in a wooded area. He is holding pruning shears in his right hand and reaching up to cut a branch. A young boy in a blue shirt and red hat stands to his right, watching him. The man's attire and the boy's presence suggest a rural setting, possibly on a farm or in a garden. The artist's use of warm colors and soft brushstrokes creates a sense of serenity in the scene. For more works by George Cochran Lambdin, explore his collection at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
