Praxou loading a wagon at Vouni
Description
A woman in a light coat and dark headscarf stands at a wooden, hopper-like machine set on a base of dry-stone blocks, feeding earth into it with a shovel-like tool. Soil spills from the top of the hopper, whose sides slope inward. A tree stands at the right, and bare ground with stones and a thin pole lies in the foreground.

- A woman in a long light robe and dark head covering stands at a wooden frame with a canvas-sided hopper, set on a base of piled stones, and reaches into it with both arms. Soil or dust spills from the top of the hopper. Flat, stony ground runs away to a tree on the right, and a pale pole lies diagonally across the foreground.
