Label TextTheodore Robinson’s quiet and contemplative scene captures two farmers resting while haying a field, a laborious task further indicated through the sheen of sweat visible on the bodies of the horses. Robinson trained in New York City before spending several years Europe, favoring France, which led him later to become one of the leading American Impressionists. His travels introduced him to many artists and artworks, including James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), whom he befriended in 1879, the Barbizon School and Claude Monet (1840-1926).Exhibition History“American Artists Abroad: the European Experience in the 19th Century,” Unknown Location, June 2, 1985 - September 2, 1985.
