The Hayloft is a 1867 gouache by John William North, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this painting, a young girl stands in a rustic room, wearing a white dress and a hat. She gazes out the window, where a serene landscape unfolds. The room is dimly lit, with a warm glow emanating from the window. A hayloft is visible in the foreground, adding a sense of rustic charm to the scene. The artist's use of watercolor and gouache creates a soft, dreamy quality, while the scratching out technique adds texture and depth to the painting.
