Harvesting : Sunset is a 1863 watercolor by Henry Brittan Willis, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Henry Brittan Willis’s oil painting *Harvesting: Sunset* depicts a rural scene of harvest activity on the South Downs, characterized by the presence of cattle and a bullock wagon. Painted in 1863, the work reflects the artist’s specialization in landscape scenes, a genre that gained prominence in 19th-century Britain. Willis, trained by his father in Bristol, exhibited widely in London during his career. The composition aligns with the period’s trend toward naturalistic representations of the British countryside.
