| Notes: | ^^^ A serene composition, in which a gently smiling farmer, standing in a half-cut hay meadow sharpens his scythe. His balanced pose is is reinforced by the curving diagonal of the blade and the gentle arc of the handle. In the background, perfectly bisecting the frame is Long Island Sound and the low Connecticut shore beyond. The still standing, flowery meadow grass is particularly well done. |

| Citation: | Cleveland Museum of Art |
| Index Words: | haycart, wagon, harvest |
| Place: | New York |
| Notes: | A steep-sided river landscape is the backdrop to a haymaking or harvesting scene in the foreground. The shape of the wagon-load and the piles in the golden field suggest a grain harvest rather than haymaking, the title of the work notwithstanding. The green valley and the dramatic sky are characteristic of the Hudson River school. The Cleveland Museum of Art commentary provides a valuable historical context: 'Painted during the first year of the Civil War, this idyllic view of a farm near Dobb's Ferry, New York, proclaimed to Northern viewers the success of an agricultural system in which farmers worked their own land. The American flag hanging beside the homestead subtly alludes to the war. Such a scene was thus a critique of Southern slavery. Yet the beauty of the landscape, the wagon carrying a bountiful harvest of hay and the long afternoon shadows, also offers an optimistic image of harmony between man and nature.' |

| Citation: | Jasper Francis Cropsey: Artist and Architect.NY Hist Soc, 1987. plate 24. [color] |
| Index Words: | haycart, wagon, haycocks, workers, storm |
| Place: | New York |
| Notes: | At the center of the composition but not in the foreground, workers load hay onto a wagon from cocks in a riverside field. The commentary in the NY Historical Society monograph on Cropsey quaintly calls this activity 'bailing', a most unusual use (and spelling) of this term! The text is more precise in its summary of Cropsey's meteorology (which deserves to be compared to that of Heade): 'cirrus and cumulus clouds are usually associated with soothing and poetical thoughts... whereas the nimbus [awakens] the deepest emotions of gloom, dread, and fear.' At the upper left of this painting, nimbus clouds are moving in to hurry the haymakers in their work. |
