This late 19th-century farmyard scene skilfully depicts three farm buildings, along with a pair of figures, who are probably the farmer and his wife. The artist has captured the effects of light brilliantly as it illuminates the barn in the background.
We particularly love the nonchalant posture of the female as she leans in a doorway.
