The Plow

Camille Pissarro

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a man wearing a straw hat, white shirt, and blue pants, standing next to a wooden plow. He faces two white oxen with dark brown harnesses and red tassels. Both oxen have their heads down. The scene is set against a backdrop of a field with trees on the horizon, under a cloudy sky. The artist's name is written in the bottom right corner. The man and oxen are shown from behind. The color palette features shades of brown, green, blue, and white. A wheel is visible on the plow. The overall scene presents a rustic, rural landscape.
