Farmyard No. 2 is a 1928 by Russell T. Limbach, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white sketch shows a farmyard at dusk. A few cows stand near a barn, their shapes simple and slightly blurred. The trees in the background look twisted, and the ground is full of small marks that might be fence posts or shadows. The artist used bold lines to separate light and dark areas, giving the scene a dramatic feel. The barn’s door is open, but the inside stays mostly shadowy.

Russell T. Limbach (1904–1971) was an American artist, born in Massillon.
