About this work

This painting shows a man in orange robes standing next to a horse pulling a wooden plow. The ground is bright orange with white and blue shapes that look like plowed furrows. A small figure lies on the ground, and flowers with dark centers and light petals sit at the bottom. The border has a wavy line and some writing in a language that looks like Greek letters. The horse’s harness has two orange wheels with spokes, which don’t match real plows. This might be a symbolic scene, not a realistic one. Look up composition to see how artists arrange strange or surprising elements in a picture.
