Coming to the Point, a sequel to Bargaining for a Horse, 1854
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by William Sidney Mount. This idyllic scene captures a moment of commerce and conversation in rural America during the mid-19th century. In this picturesque setting, we see two men engaged in an animated discussion near a wooden fence. The buyer, dressed formally with his top hat, seems eager to strike a deal while the seller calmly presents his case. Surrounding them are barns and stable structures that hint at the presence of horses nearby. The artist skillfully depicts nature's tranquility as children play in the background, oblivious to the adults' negotiation. One child can be seen whittling wood with tools nearby, adding an element of innocence amidst this commercial transaction. Mount's attention to detail brings life to every figure and animal present in this genre painting. Horses graze peacefully in the distance, reminding us of their significance as farm animals and symbols of wildlife. "Coming to the Point" invites viewers into a world where trade and barter were essential aspects of daily life. It showcases not only Mount's artistic talent but also provides insight into historical customs and interactions within American society during that era. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Mount's masterpiece from our own homes while immersing ourselves in its rich narrative and timeless beauty.
