The Harvest Field c. 1860

"The Harvest Field" is a pencil drawing by English artist John Linnell, created around 1860. The artwork, which is relatively small in dimension, depicts a field of harvested wheat, with sheaves of grain lying in the foreground. Linnell's subtle use of lines and shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, capturing the tranquility of a rural landscape after the harvest. This drawing exemplifies Linnell's keen eye for detail and his ability to render the natural world with a sense of poetic realism, characteristic of his later works.
