The Reaper (The Harvest Moon) 

"The Reaper (The Harvest Moon)" is a watercolor by Richard Westall, an English artist known for his portraits and historical paintings. The artwork depicts a lone figure, a reaper, standing with a sickle in hand and a dog by his side, gazing upwards at the harvest moon. The soft, muted tones of the watercolor create a serene and atmospheric scene, capturing the stillness of a moonlit night. The overall composition is balanced and harmonious, with the reaper's figure placed at the center of the scene. This small, intimate work, measuring just over 4 inches tall, is a beautiful example of Westall's skill in capturing the beauty of the natural world.
