Three figures in a green field under a blue sky with tall trees
Detailed Description
Three figures are depicted in a field with visible, textured brushstrokes. In the foreground, a dirt path diagonally traverses the scene, separating areas of green vegetation. On the left side of the path, a figure in a blue dress and head covering is bent over, appearing to place something into a light-colored sack on the ground. To their right, another figure in a light-colored shirt, vest, and trousers stands facing away from the viewer, holding a tool in their right hand, also near a light-colored sack. Further to the right, on the other side of the path, a third figure is crouched low among the green plants, looking down at a dark object in their hands or on the ground. The background features rolling hills covered with trees and shrubs. Tall, slender trees, possibly poplars, rise vertically in the middle ground, their dark green foliage contrasting with the lighter greens of the field. A small, light-colored building with a reddish roof is visible on a distant hill to the right. The sky above is blue, filled with fluffy white clouds, rendered with distinct dabs of paint.
