Harvesting, New England is a 1866 graphite by Aaron Draper Shattuck, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet farm scene. In the top half, a line of trees stretches across a flat, open field. The trees look bare, with thin branches. Below, a group of people work in the grass. Some carry tools, others walk or stand. The artist focused on simple shapes and light. The lines are loose, like quick notes. This style fits a movement that aimed to show real life, not polished scenes. Look up Realism next to see more works like this.
Aaron Draper Shattuck (March 9, 1832 – July 30, 1928) was an American painter of the White Mountain School.
