The image shows a riverside scene from a slightly elevated angle. In the center, a large cart filled with hay is drawn by oxen. A man sits on top of the hay. To the left, two figures sit in a small boat on the water. The background features a wide sky with light hues and subtle brushstrokes. The landscape across the water is indicated with earthy tones and light strokes. The color palette consists of warm earth tones and calming pastels, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
