Beyond it,below at the right in the middle distance, seen over its slanting side, isa broad, flat valley bounded by trees, where among the distinguish-able features of the landscape a conical, brownish-yellow haystackstands up in the dimmed radiance of a cloudy moonlight night. In acleft of the near-by hill a cottage is built, its upper story projectingabove the hillside and its ancient roof glistening softly in the lunarlight. The blue sky—showing a single star—is all but concealed bywide-spreading, thick light clouds, through which the full moon isstruggling to appear. Signed at the lower left, J. C. Cazin. From M. Knoedler & Co., New York, who purchased it direct from the artist.
