Haystacks, Giverny 1896

"Haystacks, Giverny" (1896) by Lilla Cabot Perry depicts a picturesque scene of haystacks in the French countryside, likely inspired by Claude Monet's famous series on the subject. Perry's painting showcases a soft, Impressionistic style, capturing the warmth of the late afternoon sun and the vibrancy of the colors. The brushstrokes are visible and create a textured surface, adding to the overall sense of movement and light. The composition emphasizes the haystacks as the central focal point, set against a backdrop of verdant fields and a distant line of trees, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.
