This painting depicts a landscape with a large, yellowish-brown haystack in the center, accompanied by a smaller one to its right. The haystacks are set against a backdrop of green fields and trees under a blue sky with white clouds. In the foreground, the fields are depicted in various shades of green, while the trees in the distance are rendered in darker hues. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and tranquility. The use of oil paint and the brushwork suggest a technique that emphasizes texture and depth.
