A woman in a blue dress with red and gold sleeves and a white head covering stands to his right. On the right side, a man in a red and white vest and white pants sits at a table, separating wheat from chaff. Behind him, a woman in a blue dress with a red hat and a man in a red and white shirt and red hat are standing. In the background, several people are working in the field, with trees, a house, and a wagon visible. A tree with apples is on the right side.
