DescriptionThis print is a horizontally oriented black and white image. A barn fills most of the right-center portion of the image. It is positioned with a corner pointing toward the viewer, a long wall to the left of the corner, a short wall to the right. The upper portion of the barn’s walls are boarded up; below the boards, stacked hay is visible through the wall studs, and is piled in front of the barn, in the middle ground toward the right of the image. Four white geese are standing in the foreground, at the center of the image. There is a tree to the left of the barn. Behind it is a small fenced-off area of the barnyard. A group of trees is visible at the far right of the image, in the background.Exhibition History
