The Harvest is a 1865 watercolor by William Paton Burton, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a wide field of golden wheat under a bright sky. A few people are scattered across the field, bending to gather crops. In the distance, dark trees stand against a soft, cloudy sky. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a lively feel. The light looks natural, as if the artist painted it outside. Check out William Paton Burton to see more of his work.
The watercolour depicts workers harvesting wheat in a field, with a tree line marking the horizon and a partly cloudy sky above.
