Two large haystacks dominate the foreground, their rounded forms rising from a sunlit field under a pale blue sky. The haystack on the right is the largest, positioned just off center, with its golden straw catching the light and casting a soft shadow onto the ground. To the left, a smaller haystack stands slightly behind, its shadow stretching toward the lower left corner of the composition.

The field is rendered in dappled strokes of green, yellow, and violet, suggesting the uneven surface of late summer grass and patches of earth. Beyond the haystacks, a line of trees and low buildings marks the middle ground, their forms softened by a haze of blue and green pigment. In the distance, gentle hills rise in a band of cool blues and purples, merging into the luminous sky above.

Brushstrokes are visible throughout, especially in the haystacks, where short, layered marks create a textured effect that mimics the rough surface of straw. The sky is painted with broad, horizontal strokes of pale blue, white, and hints of pink, giving a sense of clear, late summer air. Small touches of bright yellow and green in the grass suggest the lingering warmth and vitality of the season's end.

A cluster of reddish-brown earth at the base of the right haystack adds a note of contrast and anchors the structure to the field. Paint is applied in loose, visible strokes, typical of the Impressionism movement. Claude Monet completed Haystacks, end of Summer in 1891, depicting a rural landscape near Giverny. The subject includes a field, haystacks, a hill, a house, and the landscape around Giverny, as noted in museum and collection records.
