Molly Luce

Horse Power
1941

A vibrant painting depicting a rural farm scene with various activities taking place. In the foreground, two chestnut horses stand by a stone wall, while a farmer on a tractor works the field behind them. To the left, another farmer harvests hay with a horse-drawn cart. The middle ground shows a green farmhouse with red outbuildings, and in the background, there are more fields and distant farmhouses. The sky is dramatic with a setting sun casting a warm glow and two ghostly, translucent horses galloping across the clouds. The artwork is signed "Molly Luce '41" in the lower left corner.
