The Lane and Hill Acres Barn by Berthe Des Clayes is a pastel work protected by museum glass. This piece is signed in the bottom right corner. A quaint farm life scene leading towards the homestead creates the picture of life and work in the countryside. The brightness in the pastel strokes from the skyline to the trees creates the energy and movement gazing outwards, dynamic contrast of the simplicity of the structures draws the eyes back to the figure leading the cattle to their barn. The pastel strokes of sky cast a simple style but small details to highlight in the barn roof and walls, and a yellow hat keeping the Lane and Hill Acres farm-hand shaded makes this piece quaint.
