ID:  Thirty years ago, in the English weekly Country Life, Basil Taylor described Stubbs as 'the most searching an original interpreter of English rural life...[which] has had two obvious aspects: the utilitarian, represented by agriculture and the management of the land; and the sentimental, the belief that country living, even if it could only be experienced vicariously, is a desirable counterpart or alternative to urban existence.' These distinctions are reflected in two genres of landscape painting, the first descriptive, documentary, topographical, often naive, but in the hands of Stubbs raised to a very high level of sophistication and originality. Stubbs, in contrast to so many of his contemporaries and followers who leavened the drudgery of rural work with implied narrative, shows figures unconnected by conversation or flirtation, simply working. However, Stubbs' compositions are carefully staged, idealized tableaux, his characters unstained by dirt or sweat. In the 1785 Hay Carting the rakes and forks are tools, not just to move the hay but to stabilize and formalize the main pictorial elements into a serene triangle. The central woman with the vertical rake reappears in the oval-framed Haymakers nine years later; but the composition of the later work is less static: the scythers are given more space than the men and woman turning the hay with forks behind and on the right. In the 1795 version of Hay Carting (ID 78), the woman, no longer facing the spectator, is vigorously using her rake on a pile of sunlit hay; but her companions retain the poses and positions of the earlier work.

ID:  Seen in an exhibit of Stubbs' work at the Frick, May, 2007. Stubbs' harvest scene is comparable to his depiction of haymaking in the same year. The format and style are similar, but in Reapers the stolid overseer, in fine clothes on an equally fine horse, watches the work done by others, in contrast to Stubbs' hay paintings in which everybody works. The Frick curator compared Stubbs' paintings to nostalgic pastoral poetry celebrating the simple virtues of rural labor...popular among city dwellers. The details, from the texture of the sheaves to the shining stirrup, reveal nature both as it is and as it ideally might be.

ID:  ^^^ A well-dressed overseer in the left foreground gestures towards two men and a woman with rakes who are turned towards him, apparently interrupted by their work of creating cocks of hay. The angle of the men's rakes guide the eye towards a horse-drawn haycart (only two wheels), evidently being secured by a man on top. In the background are huge haystacks seeming to dwarf the house on the horizon.
