DescriptionThe image is dominated by a centrally placed simple brick or cut stone structure with a single door on the gabled end and two small windows on the right side; a group of figures, both male and female, gather around the entrance to the building, a wagon on the left of the crowd and a male figure mounted on a horse on the right. Additional male figures crowd the doorway of the building. A wooden stockade style fence runs behind the structure and a town can be seen in the distance.On View
