This print, created in 1950 after the work of Margaret Loyton, presents a serene rural scene bathed in the golden light of late summer. The vertical composition features two figures, a man seated and a woman standing, both engaged in a tranquil moment outdoors. The woman, gently holding a domestic bird, leans on a carriage frame, while the man sits nearby, surrounded by the warm, golden hues of dried vegetation. The setting includes gathered hay and a distant building nestled among rolling hills under a clear, cool blue sky.

The interplay of the sunlit landscape with the coolness of the sky creates a visually striking harmony, while the bright, saturated colors and modernist stylization of the figures evoke a sense of timelessness. This piece captures the essence of harvest, a theme deeply rooted in art history, and juxtaposes it with a modern interpretation, highlighting a dialogue between tradition and innovation.
This work is a fine example of Loyton's ability to blend classic themes with contemporary stylistic approaches, making it a captivating addition to any collection.
