The image depicts a rural scene with rolling hills in the background. In the foreground, two men in hats and work clothing are operating a cart pulled by a team of four horses. The men are actively working, with one standing beside the cart and the other sitting on it, holding the reins. A barnlike structure is visible on the right side of the hills. The brushstrokes are detailed, capturing the texture of the landscape and the figures' clothing. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black, white, and gray to create contrast and depth.
