See the note on N02122. Charles painted several pictures of hayfields and these drawings may have been preliminary studies, though they do not correspond exactly either to ‘In the Hayfield - East Ashling’ (repr. Black and White, 23 February 1907), or to ‘In Harvest Time’, said to have been the last landscape painted by him (repr. Art Journal, 1909, p.93).
