Four men at work in a field of hay; man on the far left is carrying a collection of hay with a pitch-fork. Man, center left, is picking up a bale of hay, with the man, right center raking the hay on the ground with a pitch-fork. Man on the far right is using a pitch-fork to lift up a mass of hay. A medium-sized tree is in the distant background, left of center. The men are dressed for field work, and three of the four wear broad-brimmed hats.
