The image is a black and white woodcut print featuring a rural scene. The point of view is slightly elevated, showing the landscape and activity. A house is on the left, and a hay wagon drawn by two horses is in the foreground. The horizon is formed by a line of trees and a small hill. Puffy clouds are scattered in the sky, with rays of light adding depth. The image's style features consistent hatch marks for texture and dimension, from the grass to the clouds. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of black, white, and gray.
