This drawing depicts a field leading towards a town or city in the distance, with a horizon line showing rows of rooftops. Towers and chimneys release smoke against the otherwise clear sky. Closer to us, the large field is depicted with short vertical strokes suggesting grass or crops, with tall, tied bundles interspersed throughout the space. In the center of the field, a person in a hat holds a long scythe and cuts a path through the field. Another person seems to be behind them, facing away from us. The people are drawn with simple lines and little detail, as is the rest of the drawing. The background is beige paper.
