Lars Davidson Reque's Farm with Men and Boys

Image

In this tableau, men and boys stand at the edge of the field in elaborate and fanciful poses. The man on the left holds a hoe and cake while the one on the right holds a harness, an ear of corn and a pretzel. In the distance, people sit on the haystack. A log animal shelter can be seen at the far right.
