Farmer with Elaborate Fencing and Farmyard

Image

A farmer with a long beard and wearing a hat is standing in the foreground in front of a board fence, which is part of an elaborate system of fencing surrounding a farmyard. The barn is on the left, and the farmhouse is on the right. Other people are posing and standing in the background, including a group of men with horses in front of the barn, a group in the center with a horse drawn carriage, and four people in the yard below the farmhouse with croquet mallets.
