DescriptionThe image is a rural farm landscape executed in neutral tones depicting two teams of horses pulling a wooden plow; two figures are at the plow while a third figure, clothed in a red smock and carrying a switch, walks beside the horses with a red and white dog beside him. The foreground has a fallen log laying on the right; the background features several loosely defined trees and dark outlines of birds in the air.
