Hayfield with Figures
David Cox the Elder 1783 - 1859
Summary
A panoramic harvest time landscape; in the left foreground are two women wearing bonnets. One of the women holds a long handled tool, and they are both facing a man on the back of a white draught horse beside them. The man is leaning back to face the women and resting a hand on the rump of the animal; beyond and to the right, are a group figures with a loaded hay wagon pulled by a team of horses. Birds circle above.
