John Leon Moran (American, 1864-1941), Woman Making Hay, oil on board, signed lower center. This is a charming and evocative painting of a bygone era. The woman, dressed in working clothes and barefoot, is holding a pitchfork. The figure of the woman is very strong while the background is soft and somewhat abstract.
