This painting depicts a grand, two-story house with a central cupola and a fenced-in yard. The house is painted yellow with white trim and has several chimneys. In front of the house, people are engaged in various activities, including playing instruments and riding in a cart pulled by oxen. A woman sits on top of the cart, which is loaded with hay. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and rolling hills, with a cloudy sky above. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and leisure.
