It served as a reminder to the humble farmer that in his pursuit of prosperity he must remain self-reliant and hard-working to ensure the reward of a bountiful harvest. No one is idle in the scene, as idlenss was anathema to successful husbandry. ); eAddison Gallery of American Art; purchased as the gift of Evelyn L.
