National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape viewed from an elevated perspective. There is a farmer working the land with a plow drawn by two horses on the right side. A windmill stands on the right, and the horizon is visible with vegetation and structures. The sky is filled with clouds, and some birds are flying. The painting has fluid brushstrokes depicting movement and texture. The color palette is muted, ranging from soft greys to deeper blacks. A large tree is depicted on the left side.
