The painting shows a pastoral scene with a stone wall and gate in the foreground. In the distance, there is a mountain range under a dramatic sky with dynamic clouds. The color palette includes earthy browns and greens contrasting with the cooler hues of the sky. The landscape features plowed fields with two sets of horses being used for farming, and figures directing their work. Light and shadow are balanced in the painting, highlighting the contrast between the dark clouds and the illuminated fields.
