label: Description
content: Architecture and landscape sketch showing a view of a barnhouse with haystack near the town of Benedicta, Maine. Viewed obliquely from the side, the rustic farmhouse is constructed of logs and is clearly divided into two sections--the right side functioning as a barn that shelters a pile of hay, while the left side is a dwelling complete with a smoking chimney. A large, round haystack is situated to the right of the structure, in front of a rail fence. In the foreground at left, multiple tree stumps dot the land at left.
