The Deserted Pigpen; and West Hurley 1866

"The Deserted Pigpen" and "West Hurley", two pencil sketches by Andrew Fisher Bunner (1841-1897), depict rural scenes from 1866. The first drawing showcases a simple wooden structure with a stone wall, suggesting a forgotten, rural farmstead. The second drawing features a more expansive view of a rustic home surrounded by trees, perhaps a glimpse of the artist's own surroundings in West Hurley, New York. Bunner, known for his landscapes, captured the quiet charm and natural beauty of the American countryside in these delicate sketches.
