The image shows a landscape with farm laborers engaging in various tasks. The scene is viewed from a slightly elevated perspective, with hills, small structures, and a building on a peak in the background. The artwork uses a detailed linework technique with fine brushstrokes, giving it a sketch-like appearance. It is rendered in monochromatic tones of beige and sepia, highlighting the intricate details. Figures in the foreground are interacting, some holding rakes and others seated with hats. The busy scene continues into the distance, where more figures work their way up the hills. The background includes more hills, clouds, and a partially concealed sun.
