This is a painting of people working with a haystack. The scene shows two individuals engaged in the activity, with one extending a pitchfork towards the haystack. The figures are rendered in bright, contrasting colors against a background of swirling blue skies and hay. The figures' garments are in earth tones and a bright teal, with one wearing a wide-brimmed hat. This painting is in the style of Grant Wood, characterized by American Regionalism elements with simplified forms and bold use of color.
