Description

Henry Golden Dearth's composition presents a farm worker guiding a pair of workhorses after a day of harvesting grain. The painting's title refers the short pieces of grain stalks left in the ground after the crop has been cut.
A horizontally oriented oil painting with visible brushwork depicts a muted brown field beneath a vast, hazy sky. In the middle ground, a figure stands beside a light gray horse and a dark companion. To the right, two haystacks sit, the largest crowned with a glowing orange peak. A pale sun hangs low over a dark treeline, while gray and white clouds drift across the sky, dominating the upper two thirds.
