Camera Work: The Onion Field - 1890

George Davison

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Onion Field - 1890 by George Davison. Black and white photograph of a field with plants and trees in the background. A group of houses and a horse are visible behind the field. The field is in the foreground, taking up most of the bottom half of the image. The plants in the field are tall and thin with bulbous tips. They are densely packed and appear to be onions. Behind the field, there are several houses with sloping roofs and chimneys. A white horse is standing near the houses. There are trees behind the houses and a cloudy sky above them. The image is sepia-toned.
