My favorite painting is at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. I really appreciate how he managed to capture the temperament and moods of these two young women. It was painted shortly after the Civil War.
The young lady on the right seems to have higher ambitions than the field work. Her friend on the left seems to be thinking of just getting by for the day. I spent an afternoon one day drawing it, loving it.
