Artist, Scottish, 1883 - 1959

The image depicts a ground-level view of a pastoral landscape with stacks of hay, a tree, and sheep scattered across a field. The horizon is low, with a line of distant terrain and a vast sky dominating the composition. Loose and expressive brushstrokes create movement and texture in the sky, which is primarily brown and gray.
