A light-filled rural landscape painting depicting a group of field-hands resting under a large oak tree. In the background, hundreds of haystacks extend towards a distant vanishing point. While in the foreground, several swans are swimming on a moss-covered pond.
The painting is housed within a highly decorative 19th-century Rococo revival frame with swept pierced corners and foliate ornamentation.
