In the background, there are more trees, a field, and a cloudy sky. The scene is depicted in muted colors, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The overall mood is one of quiet activity, with the figures engaged in their work. The painting is an example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and the beauty of nature.
