This painting shows a brown ox hitched to a wooden cart outside a simple white house with a tiled roof. The house has a small window and a door, with a tree beside it. The sky is soft blue with a few clouds, and the ground looks dry. The ox is covered with a cloth, and its harness is made of rope. The wheels of the cart are thick and wooden, resting on the dirt. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the scene a warm, earthy feel. This painting is part of the collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
