Landscape with Haystack is a 1841 oil by Thomas Churchyard, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a landscape with a large haystack in the center. The scene is depicted in muted colors, with the haystack being the main focus. The haystack is rendered in a rough, textured manner, giving it a sense of depth and dimensionality. The surrounding landscape is more subdued, with gentle hills and a cloudy sky. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of contrast between light and dark, drawing the viewer's eye to the haystack.
