About the piece

Painted in 1857 by John Frederick Herring Jr., this work captures the rhythmic beauty of a rural English harvest. The composition masterfully balances the heavy labor of the workers and horses with a tender family scene, all set against a rolling landscape and a dramatic, light-filled sky.
