Found in 338 Collections and/or Records:
Farming: Compositional Study [1] of 2, [between 1949 and 1951]
Circular compositional study, labeled "Farming." In the upper right, a smaller circular study. At bottom is noted: "8 or 16 more [?] film".
Farming: Compositional Study [2] of 2, [between 1949 and 1951]
A circular design for the overall plate. Almost identical to final image and rendered in detail, except the reaper's hands are left undrawn and the grain cradle is a rougher sketch.
Farming: Preliminary Study [1] of 10, [between 1949 and 1951]
Depictions of three different tools, labeled, from left to right: harpoon fork for hay, flail, and mortising axe.
Farming: Preliminary Study [2] of 10, [between 1949 and 1951]
The top study appears to be a hoe of some kind, labeled "hand graver"(?). Beneath is a more elaborate picture of what looks like a hand-driven plow. Leighton has written in graphite, "too short", "11 teeth", and "marker."
Farming: Preliminary Study [3] of 10, [between 1949 and 1951]
Ox yoke and adze.
One study shows part of what looks like curved metal or wood, and is very close to a drawing of an oxen yoke, labeled "single ox." To the right is a drawing of an adze, labeled as such. The adze likely belongs to the Shipbuilding series. A 16x17 cm rectangle has been cut from the bottom middle; it may have had drawings for Cranberrying, since the word "berry" is visible at the edge.
Farming: Preliminary Study [4] of 10, [between 1949 and 1951]
Jug and Sickle.
Page dominated by a drawing of a jug with a cork in it, and a sickle in the foreground. Labeled "jug & grain sickle." In the upper right is a drawing of a piece of curved wood resembling a yoke. The word "yoke" has been crossed out, and above it is written "[illegible] chine."
Farming: Preliminary Study [5] of 10, [between 1949 and 1951]
Labeled drawing of a grain cradle (the tool held by the reaper in the final woodcut).
