About this artwork
Whittredge painted this view of a farm near Dobb's Ferry, New York, in 1861, the first year of the Civil War. A wagon carries a generous load of hay, and the afternoon shadows stretch long across the land. Beside the homestead hangs an American flag, a subtle nod to the conflict. For Northern viewers, the scene celebrated farmers working their own land, and so offered a quiet critique of Southern slavery. It also reads as a hopeful picture of harmony between people and nature. The work is oil on canvas.
On your wall: Its warm pastoral subject and gentle afternoon light suit a living room, dining room, study or hallway, especially where a calm, traditional landscape is welcome.
