About the piece
Created in 1853 by British artist David Cox, this oil painting beautifully captures the movement and atmosphere of 19th-century rural life. The composition leads the eye along a winding path where figures and horses make their way to the hayfield, all set against a vast, dynamic English sky rendered with luminous, painterly brushwork.
