For Sale Apple Butter and Pumpkins
| Description: |
This painting is very similar to the depiction of ES.015. There are three main buildings: a large red barn, a smaller red barn/shed, and a white two-story farmhouse. The large red barn is in the top left corner with a brown roof. An apple tree is next to the barn with a figure picking apples from the tree. The shed is small and red, sitting in front of a large tree with yellow and gold leaves. The farmhouse is white with green accents in the windows and on the front porch. There are three windows visible on the side of the house. A light green vine is climbing the side of the house between the windows, starting in the flower bed lining the house. The flower bed includes pink, orange, and yellow flowers and is contained by a line of white rocks. Two girls sit on the far right edge of the flower bed playing in the grass. One girl is dressed in pink while the other is dressed in blue and black. There is a large field of flowers in this version of the scene. The field takes up the middle of the bottom half of the painting to the bottom right corner. Large white, pink, yellow, blue, and purple flowers in twelve rows fill the field. In the bottom left corner, a pile of orange pumpkin and green gourds sit with a white sign stating For Sale Applebutter and Pumpkins. In the lane behind the sign, two black and white dogs are playing with an orange cat. Up the lane in front of the barn, there is a black buggy with a light brown horse hitched to a rail. The driver stands in front of the buggy in all black and seems to be buying or helping make the Applebutter. Five buckets of Applebutter sit in the yard near the woman sitting on a stool next to a large black pot and cooking fire. Dated above lane on the left side in black, copyrighted. Schrocks signature is in the bottom right corner in black. |
