Eric Algot Bengtz · 1946 · etching ·  Accession ID  2008.115.841

Three people are shown resting on a pile of hay. The person on the left is sitting upright, eyes closed, wearing a headscarf, knee-length dress, and detailed shoes. The central figure is lying back with arms behind their head, barefoot, with relaxed features and curly hair, dressed in a short-sleeve shirt and shorts. The third figure is partially seen from behind, wearing a straw hat and a collared shirt, seated higher and facing away. Farming implements and shoes are seen in the hay around them. The background shows a vast landscape of fields, trees, and a winding road through hills.
