Here the figure is Maud Muller, the heroine of John Greenleaf Whittier's 1856 ballad about a country girl raking hay who offers a weary judge a drink of water and then watches him ride away. The poem's bittersweet story made it widely loved, and this color lithograph adapts a painting by John George Brown, a genre painter known for scenes of ordinary working life. John Gast, a New York lithographer, produced the print around 1868 for popular audiences. Its farm setting offers a glimpse of how rural life was pictured in the years after the Civil War.
