A MEDFIELD FARM—MASSACHUSETTS
Height, 8¾ inches; length, 13¾ inches
In the foreground three tall elm trees, growing in a stone wall, rise out of the picture, and beyond them, across an enclosed sunlit meadow where a few cows are feeding, is seen on the left the whitewashed gable of a farmhouse, which is almost entirely concealed by lofty rounded trees in rich summer foliage, and which, in strong effect of light and shade, rise high against a cloudy sky. Through an opening in the rank of great trees, which extends across the middle distance, is a vista to a distant horizon across a pleasant wooded country.
Signed at the lower right, G. Inness.
