View of the Great Hungarian Plain with Draw Well is a 1853 oil by Károly Markó, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting shows a vast, flat landscape with a well in the center. The well has a long, curved handle and a bucket hanging from a rope. In the foreground, there are some grasses and a small body of water. The sky above is cloudy and hazy, with the sun shining through the clouds. In the distance, you can see the horizon stretching out, with no hills or mountains in sight. The overall mood of the painting is one of calmness and serenity.
