This painting shows a quiet country road lined with tall, leafy trees. Two strong oxen pull a wagon with a white canopy, carrying a few people. The ground is a mix of dirt and patches of grass, and sunlight filters through the branches. The artist focused on the peacefulness of nature, with soft colors and gentle brushstrokes. The oxen and wagon suggest a slow, steady journey through the countryside. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
