Description

Print showing a farmyard. There is a large barn on the left set into a hill. There is a large door on the second floor open toward the viewer, with a ramp leading to the ground of the hill behind the barn. At the bottom right, a man sits in a hay-filled cart pulled by two donkeys moving toward the barn. There is a large house with four chimneys and two additions at the center in the middle ground, and a chaise cart behind the house on the edge of the hill. There are three houses in the far distance at the center right edge of the composition. The bottom is inscribed with the title, "Sunshine of the Farm", and signed "J. F. Gilman '88". On the back is a pencil sketch of an elderly man's face. It is cropped close so that the face fills the entire paper. The man has a beard only on his chin.
