Polling [recto]

Walter Shirlaw

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a side view of a wagon filled with hay. The horizon line is low, obscured by the tall stack of hay and a large structure. A road or path runs beside the wagon. The drawing is done with loose pencil strokes for texture. It is in monochrome with shades of grey and black on beige paper. Figures are included on the haystack and near the wooden structure. A tree with minimal foliage is on the right, and the sky is depicted with horizontal strokes.
