The image shows a landscape with a low horizon, guiding the eye towards distant hills and a body of water. In the foreground, a wagon carrying a haystack is pulled by two horses, with a person walking beside it. There is a thatched structure to the right. The sky dominates the composition with patches of white and blue. The painting technique is smooth, and the color palette includes browns, greens, and pastels.
