Charming late 19th century miniature oil painting from the Wanamaker collection, depicting a bustling harvest scene with figures loading a hay cart beneath a pale, cloud-streaked sky. The golden tones of the wheat field contrast beautifully with the muted blues of the horizon, while the fine detailing captures the movement and atmosphere of rural life.
As with many Wanamaker-imported works of the period, this piece reflects European romanticism in its subject matter and execution, designed for intimate display yet rich in visual narrative. Presented in a period dark oak frame with its original finish.
