The First of September, Morning is a 1796 ink by William Ward, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a rustic barn scene, with a man and a boy standing in the center, surrounded by horses and dogs. The man is dressed in a hat, coat, and boots, while the boy wears a coat and holds a hat in his hand. A broom lies on the ground beside them. In the background, a horse is visible through an open window, and another horse stands in a stall, with a basket of hay hanging from the ceiling. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet activity, with the man and boy engaged in their daily tasks. The use of warm colors and soft lighting creates a sense of coziness and intimacy, drawing the viewer into the peaceful world of the barn. For more information, look up the Romanticism movement.
