PLOUGHING
Height, 18 inches; width, 13 inches
In the foreground a peasant is stooping over a rude plough, which is drawn by a single horse, apparently engaged in adjusting the plough shaft, and beyond him a partly cultivated field, in which are seen figures here and there, extends away to the extreme distance, where a few poplars grow and a windmill localizes the scene. The sky is covered with low drifting masses of clouds threatening rain, and near the zenith the sun struggles to break through the vapor.
