This painting is one of a pair of landscapes dominated by stately oaks and brooding skies. It depicts a landscape with a farmyard and figure drawing water from a well, other figures conversing nearby. The painter seems to delight in depicting peculiar houses and asymmetrical structures within his idyllic countryside scenes. A dilapidated hut with a thatched roof that leans sharply to the ground on one side stands in the middle of the present painting.
