About the piece

Painted in 1644 by Johannes Lingelbach, this oil on panel work depicts the industrious bustle of a traditional hay harvest. The composition is firmly grounded by the heavy forms of working horses and laborers, while the upper half of the canvas is dominated by an expansive, atmospheric sky characteristic of the Dutch landscape tradition.
