Harvest at San Juan, New Mexico is a 1883 by Peter Moran, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a group of people working in a dry, sunlit field. Some are riding horses, others are on foot, and a few are handling bundles of cut plants tied together. In the background, a few small buildings and trees line the horizon under a bright sky. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and light, focusing on everyday life rather than grand scenes. This style was common in late 19th-century American art.
