The painting depicts a rural landscape with a high horizon line. The scene includes a split between a lush green pasture and a dark sky with heavy clouds. A wooden fence separates the pastures from a line of trees. In the foreground, a farmer in blue clothes leads oxen pulling a hay cart, while others load hay onto a cart. Two more farmers work on the right side. The brushwork is even and smooth, with clear outlines. The color palette includes earthy greens, blues, and browns, with red accents on the cart wheels. The sky shows dark clouds and streaks of light through blue sky.
