"Old South Carolina Plantation"

George N. Barnard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rural scene with individuals gathered near simple buildings with thatched roofs. A group of people, both adults and children, are around an ox-drawn cart. The horizon is low in the picture, intersected by a row of buildings. In the background, leafless trees stretch toward the sky. The color palette is primarily sepia-toned.
