Vermont Farm 1943

Milton Avery's "Vermont Farm" is a simple yet evocative pencil sketch that exemplifies his distinctive style. Created in 1943, the work captures a rural scene with minimalist lines and subtle shading, characteristic of Avery's artistic approach. The drawing's focus on a pair of horses in the foreground, against a backdrop of rolling hills and trees, suggests a quiet, contemplative atmosphere, typical of Avery's depictions of landscapes and everyday life. This small-scale work, measuring only 12.8 x 20 cm, demonstrates the power of Avery's minimalist approach in expressing the essence of a rural setting, highlighting his talent for capturing the essence of a scene with minimal detail.
