Studies of Farmers Shucking Corn

Enoch Wood Perry, Jr.

National Gallery of Art

The image features two sketched scenes on a textured, beige sheet. On the right side, within a square frame, two figures are drawn. One figure wears a hat and sits in profile on a surface with debris. Beside them, another figure is seated in a relaxed posture. The surroundings suggest an indoor setting with a large opening or window showing an abstract landscape. On the left, a fainter sketch shows another figure amid debris, with less detail. The background is the plain beige texture of the paper. No specific details about jewelry or objects held are included.
