The image features a slightly elevated perspective, showing a scene with rugged hills, dense trees, and a textured sky. In the foreground, there are large stacks of hay, and a man is arranging hay with a pitchfork. Another figure is stacking hay onto a stack being pulled by a horse in a field. The painting is detailed, capturing individual strands of hay with movement. The color palette is monochromatic, using various shades of gray to add depth and contrast. The trees, fields, and figures are all rendered in a consistent style.
