A hand plow sits forgotten in a field left of center where crops have been cut down in horizontal lines from foreground into the distance. A few crows sit on top of the plow and in the field around it. A grid-shaped harrow rests flat in the lower right corner. The field is drawn in ochers, browns, greys, with strokes of white suggesting a dusting of snow. A flock of blackbirds are seen in the distant sky, some landing towards the left beyond the plow. There’s a suggestion of a mountain drawn in white strokes in the distance.
