A horizontally oriented oil painting on a wood panel depicts two brown oxen hitched to a cart beside a white farmhouse. The oxen wear light, fringed textiles over their heads. To the right, a child with medium-dark skin stands by a large wooden wheel while a light-skinned person looks from a window. A figure stands in the distance under a blue sky. Textured brushwork defines sunlit walls and a red-tiled roof.
