| Index Words: | haystacks, workers, haycart, wagon, rake |
| Place: | Massachusetts |
| Notes: | ^^^ There is more foreground detail than usual in this scene. At the center, next to a narrow winding creek, stands a fisherman. To the right, another figure, back turned towards us, is raking hay into low heaps. In the distance behind a row of dark stacks is a wagon just below the horizon. The Currier Gallery annotation points out Heade's affinity with Transcendentalism and his careful depiction of space and distance: 'The serene quality of these works is achieved not only through unifying atmospheric color, such as the grays of an overcast morning, but also through the careful demarcation of space. In Heade's view of Marshfield Meadows, taken from the marshlands surrounding the Cut River outside of Plymouth, Massachusetts, a meandering waterway snakes gently into the distance, its twists and turns accented by the softly rounded forms of the haystacks. These elements control the viewer's eye, ensuring a slow pace for vision and thought.' |

I'm the ghost of Little Liza, as was smothered in the hay.' |
