Description

A single person in light clothing stands in a dry, stubbly field between two dark cattle joined by a long wooden beam. A rounded heap, possibly a sack or bundle, lies to the right, and a few small dark shapes sit on the ground in the foreground. Behind them are several large round-crowned trees, low scrub and a flat strip of sea along the horizon.
