A pencil sketch depicts a rural scene with several figures and horses. In the foreground, a person stands facing two horses harnessed to a plow, while another figure observes from the left. In the background, a house and a shed with a slanted roof are visible. The artist's signature, "E. Hopper," is in the lower right corner, and handwritten text is at the bottom left.
