Dance of the Haymakers

William Sidney Mount

Cleveland Museum of Art

A sketch on off-white paper depicts a rough pencil drawing of a rural scene with 5 people. Two people on the left are wearing hats and holding rakes. A man in a hat on the right holds a pitchfork. The woman in the center wears a hat. The scene appears unfinished, with minimal detail. Above the people are 16 small detailed pencil drawings of small birds on a branch with handwritten notes describing their color patterns. The title 'Dance of the Haymakers' and some illegible writing are along the bottom and top edges.
