The haystack

Item Information

Title:
The haystack
Description:
The stack, towards the right, is combined with a thatched, lean-to shed, one compartment of which shelters a wagon. To the left is a small shed beyond a fence ; on the near side of the palings are two ladders leaning against a wall. The top of another ladder projects above the ridge of the haystack. Two birds are flying and two others perch on the top of the stack. In the foreground are three hens ; another is seen more to the left and a fifth near the shafts of the wagon. Hitherto there had been a man, nearly white, kneeling towards the right on a ledge near the left end of the haystack. This figure is now worked over. A shadow on the wall, just to the right of the smaller of the two ladders in the corner, has been lightened.
