About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows a person standing in a field of tall corn. Around their feet are big pumpkins scattered on the ground. The sky is wide and empty, with distant hills faintly visible. The artist focused on the hard work of farming, not fancy details. The lines are simple but full of texture, especially in the cornstalks and pumpkins. If you like this, check out Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910) for more of his rural scenes.
