In the foreground, a group of people wearing garments in colors like blue, green, brown, pink, and red stand and walk along a light-colored, textured ground with areas of pink and white. A cart piled with greenish hay is drawn by brown oxen near a rough wooden cart wheel, and nearby a few figures handle tools or lead animals.
