The Big Cedar

Childe Hassam

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rural scene viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. A large tree dominates the right side of the image, with branches extending outward. A fence is in the foreground. A line of distant trees marks the horizon in the middle of the image. Beyond the tree and fence, a horse-drawn cart loaded with hay and a small farm building are visible. The artwork features fine and detailed brushwork capturing textures. The color palette is monochrome sepia.
