This painting shows five men working with large piles of grain outdoors. One man in a long white robe stands apart, while the others sit or kneel near mounds of grain, using baskets and tools. The background has a simple building with a carved door, and the whole scene looks dry and dusty. The title says *Grain-sellers*, so these workers are likely selling or preparing grain. The artist used soft colors and simple shapes to show the scene clearly. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style focused on everyday life.
