Harvest at San Juan, New Mexico

Peter Moran

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of horses being driven around a large haystack enclosed by tall sticks. In the background are faint outlines of buildings or trees. The etching technique used creates detailed textures and movement. The color palette is limited to sepia tones. Two figures are herding the horses in the foreground, with more figures and open land in the distance. The sky above is filled with dramatic clouds.
