The painting depicts a dark rural scene at night. A group of people are gathered on the ground, husking corn. They are dressed in dark-colored clothing, with one person wearing a red garment. The people are sitting and standing around a pile of corn husks and ears of corn. To the left, there is a house with a steep roof and a smaller structure next to it. A few trees are scattered around the house. In the background, there are more buildings and trees. To the right, there is a barn or shed with a thatched roof and a fence in front of it. A rooster is perched on top of the roof. The sky is dark and cloudy, with some lighter areas suggesting moonlight or clouds. The overall atmosphere is somber and rustic. Title: Corn Husking Artist: David Gilmour Blythe.
