You see two oxen pulling a wooden cart on a dirt road. A man walks beside them, leading the way. The sky is bright and cloudless. This painting shows a simple farm scene, but it feels old and quiet. The oxen look strong and slow. The man’s clothes look plain and worn. Look up Orville Houghton Peets (American, 1884–1968) next.
