In the foreground study farm buildings surround small figures tending to the land.](https://nmwa.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1986.225-e1591834026558-aspect-ratio-2.25-1-700x330.jpg)

The cage sits adjacent to and partially obscures a bowl of lush red, yellow, and white flowers.](https://nmwa.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/1986.223-GAP-aspect-ratio-2.25-1-700x330.jpg)
