This painting shows a group of people working in a field under a bright, cloudy sky. They’re cutting hay with scythes, dressed in simple clothes and hats. Tall trees with bare branches stand in the background, and a stone wall runs along the edge of the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the whole scene a soft, sketchy feel. The light looks natural, with shadows falling gently across the grass and figures. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
