Mending the Harness

Amerikanische Malerei 1870–1877, mid to late 1870s

This painting shows a landscape dominated by muted brown and yellow tones. In the center is a white horse standing on a faint path that leads towards the bottom left corner. The horse is attached to a cart with a large wheel, and it appears to carry a pile of yellow-brown material. A person stands to the right of the horse with their back to us, looking down at its harness. The person appears to be wearing a jacket and hat. They are painted entirely in shades of dark brown and black. On the left is a landscape painted in a flat brown color, and on the right are tall dark brown trees. The sky is painted in a pale tan color.
