Selling Corn, Settling the Bill
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of rural life in 1852, beautifully captured by artist George Henry Durrie. This oil on wood painting, measuring 49.5x60.6 cm, now resides at the Shelburne Museum in Vermont, USA. The scene depicts a wintry day on a farm, with snow-covered fields and barns as far as the eye can see. A man stands beside his horse-drawn sleigh filled with bundles of corn for sale. His loyal dog faithfully accompanies him on this chilly endeavor. In the foreground, we see a young boy eagerly approaching the farmer to settle their bill after purchasing some corn. The child's excitement is palpable as he clutches his walking stick or cane tightly while navigating through the snowy terrain. Durrie's attention to detail brings this winter landscape to life - from the intricate brushstrokes that capture each flake of falling snow to the subtle expressions on both human and animal faces. This painting not only showcases an agricultural transaction but also serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when commerce was conducted face-to-face amidst nature's beauty. As we gaze upon "Selling Corn, Settling the Bill" we are transported back in time and reminded of our connection to nature and our reliance on farming communities for sustenance. It is truly an artwork that celebrates both human ingenuity and Mother Earth's bountiful offerings.
