The scene is viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon line is indistinct, where a small group of people is visible. The style features loose and expressive sketch-like lines. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of pale beige and darker tones. In the forefront, there are oxen being handled by a figure wielding a stick. Elements extend into the distance, offering a broader environment.
