"The Angry Farmer" (1790) is a print by George Morland depicting a farmer confronting a group of children caught stealing hay. The farmer, holding a whip, stands with his horse in the center of the composition, confronting the children in a rural setting. Morland, known for his genre paintings of everyday life, captures the scene with a naturalism and sensitivity that makes the "The Angry Farmer" both engaging and poignant.
