This painting shows a bright blue sky full of stars and red flowers. In the middle, a winged red horse pulls a golden cart with a man standing on it. Below, three people in simple clothes stand near three white oxen. The edges are decorated with red swirls and more flowers. The cart’s wheels look like they’re turning, even though it’s flat. The people seem to be watching or guiding the scene. Look up ploegen next to see how this might connect to farming traditions.
