Marsh Farm in Early Spring

Peter Henry Emerson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a plowed field with a person operating a horse-drawn plow in the center. In the background, there are thatched barns and structures along the horizon, with bare trees against a lightly clouded sky. The photograph is in black and white, emphasizing the texture of the soil and the aged feel of the rural buildings.
