Footnotes

Andrews took inspiration from her home county of Suffolk, featuring its rural landscapes and agricultural practices, with working horses being a favourite theme. In Day's End the horses are given precedence, almost filling the frame, highlighting their importance in the workings of rural life. The upward movement of the horses towards the edge of the frame combined with the dark tones convey the feeling of fatigue at the end of a hard day's work.
