Families kneel and stoop to gather cranberries across a wide bog on Nantucket under a golden autumn sky. Johnson spent his summers on the island from 1870 and painted the annual cranberry harvest in a series of studies and finished pictures around 1879–80. This one is in Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas.
