A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a wide marsh landscape under a vast sky. In the foreground, dark plants and a broken fence lead to a damp field scattered with rounded haystacks. Toward the right, one stack sits sheltered by a small peaked roof on four poles. Mottled gray and tan clouds fill the upper composition, creating a uniform, muted palette that defines the somber, hazy atmosphere.
