Summary:
Rural landscape depicting a elderly white-haired traveler and his horse arriving at a farmyard, where they are greeted by the family dog, while family members go about their daily chores. On the left, a young boy cares for a toddler just learning to walk, and on the right, a young girl feeds chickens. In the background there is a bucket sitting beside a small well, and beyond there is a view looking out over miles of farmland.
