This is a drawing of a scarecrow and a field worker with a plow. The drawing depicts a rural scene where a field worker is engaging in plowing the land with a plow with a large wheel. To the right, there is a scarecrow dressed in a hat, coat, and pants, standing in a posture that mimics the man next to it. The scene is composed in black and white with detailed cross-hatching and shading techniques to create depth and texture. The setting includes open fields with a few fences in the background under a partly cloudy sky. The drawing emphasizes the interaction between man and scarecrow within a pastoral landscape.
