This is an easily recognisable object: not the result of mass production, but a handmade scarecrow, showing the power of human creativity. However, we live in a world of changing values, and the function of the scarecrow is also temporary, and therefore it becomes unnecessary sooner than a piece of equipment. Maybe this is why the scarecrow, a product of the human imagination, was painted more emotionally, pictorially and artistically.
