Men with a Hayrick drawn by Two Horses (from Sketchbook VII)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a simple pencil sketch of a rural scene. A hayrick, a large pile of hay, is drawn with a wagon and two horses to the left. Two men are standing beside the horses. The sketch is simple and minimalist, with minimal detail. The background of the sketch is blank and featureless. The sketch is contained within a rectangle with a thin border. The rectangle has some smudges and marks around the edges. The overall appearance is one of a quick and simple drawing.
