This painting shows a man guiding two horses as they plough a field. The horses are brown and white, and the man wears a blue shirt and pants. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a blue sky. The artist has used bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to bring the scene to life. The horses' muscles are visible as they work, and the man's face is focused on the task at hand. The painting's use of color and composition creates a sense of energy and movement.
