The image shows a farmer in a wide-brimmed hat working with a long-handled fork, while another figure sits on a heap. In the background, there is a field with a horse-drawn cart. The artwork is done in charcoal with a monochromatic color palette of greys. The composition is detailed, capturing the textures of hay and clouds, and the light and shadow create depth in the scene.
