Liber Studiorum: The Straw Yard is a 1823 by Joseph Mallord William Turner, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet farm scene with a small wooden house on a hill. A man stands on the roof, maybe fixing something, while another leans on a ladder. In front, a cart loaded with hay sits next to a fence, and two horses—one brown, one white—graze nearby. A dog lies in the shade, and a few trees frame the scene. The artist used soft shading to show light and shadow, making the scene feel calm. The print looks old, with a slightly faded, sepia tone.
