Original Description
Willard Leroy Metcalf’s Lengthening Shadows, No. 1 (Resting at the Haystack) is a serene yet evocative example of American Impressionism, capturing the tranquil beauty of rural New England. Painted around 1905-1907, this work reflects Metcalf’s masterful use of light and color to convey the fleeting effects of dusk. The scene depicts a lone figure resting beside a haystack, bathed in the soft, golden glow of the setting sun, while elongated shadows stretch across the field, lending the composition a poetic stillness. Metcalf was a prominent member of the Old Lyme Art Colony, and his works are celebrated for their harmonious blending of realism and Impressionist techniques. This piece exemplifies his ability to elevate everyday rural moments into timeless meditations on nature, securing his place as a key figure in early 20th-century American art.
For home or office decor, Lengthening Shadows, No. 1 brings warmth and tranquility, making it ideal for spaces that prioritize comfort and reflection. Its muted earth tones and soft golden hues pair beautifully with rustic, farmhouse, or traditional interiors, complementing natural wood furnishings and neutral textiles. Consider placing it in a reading nook, bedroom, or study where its calming energy can be appreciated. A medium to large-scale reproduction (24x30 inches or larger) would enhance its immersive quality, while a framed gallery print or canvas wrap would suit both casual and formal settings. For a cohesive look, introduce accents in ochre, sage green, or cream to echo the painting’s palette, or balance its pastoral charm with minimalist decor for contrast.**
