Design for set "Animals Entering the Ark" from "Green Pastures"
c. 1935

A painting depicting a rural landscape with a house and a smoking chimney on the left, surrounded by trees and a fence. A dirt road winds through the foreground, leading towards the house and continuing past it to the right, where a horse-drawn cart and figures are visible. The sky is overcast with dark, swirling clouds, suggesting an impending storm or strong winds. The artwork is rendered in a loose, expressive style with broad brushstrokes.
