Landscape with Cornfield and Windmill is a 1852 by Claude Hayes, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene. In the foreground, a person sits on a low stone wall, wearing a dark coat and a red hat. Behind them, a windmill stands on a grassy hill, with fields of dry, golden corn stretching toward the horizon. The sky is pale and soft, with faint clouds. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like a quick note of what the artist saw. The colors are muted—earthy browns, pale greens, and a touch of blue in the distance.
