Making Hay

after Winslow Homer

National Gallery of Art

The scene depicts activities in a meadow. A man with a scythe is cutting grass, with another man doing the same in the background. Two figures are seated on the grass on the right. The illustration uses fine lines and cross-hatching, giving a textured appearance. The color palette is in sepia tones, typical of traditional engraving techniques, evoking a sense of history. The horizon is visible with distant trees blending into the sky.
