Ecocriticism can be divided into four subcategories. The four categories are “the wilderness” which is primarily deserts and oceans, “the scenic sublime” which consists of mountains,
waterfall, cliffs, forests and lakes, “the countryside” consists of woods, hills, and fields and the last one is “the domestic picturesque” which consists of lanes, gardens and parks. These are the four subcategories according to Peter Barry and his theories.

In this art the focus is on agriculture because of the field and the forest in the front of the painting. The painting itself shows the masculine colonial aggression because of the
colonization of land through agriculture.
It was very important in the 18th century to have a strong agriculture. That's why so much American nature literature was about agriculture and cultivation of land.
If you base this painting on the four subcategories mentioned earlier this is categorized as “the countryside” that is due to the woods, hills and fields which is portrayed in the painting.
