On the left a figure in a soft wide-brimmed hat sits on a horse, leaning forward to pat its neck. There are two chains connected to the horse’s bridle which drag a wide wooden object with many tree branches connected to it. Another figure wearing a pointed brimmed hat sits on another wide piece of wood which rests on the branches, lifted up slightly by the branches which are full and covered with brown leaves past where he sits. The clothing, horse, and branches are similar shades of brown which almost blend into the flat brown colored earth.
