About the painting
Museum text in Russian
Справа на переднем плане, на зеленой траве - желто-серый стог сена, обнесенный вокруг изгородью. За ним - крестьянин в армяке ведет коричневую лошадь с жеребенком. На среднем плане, чуть левее центра, изображено несколько ветхих деревянных амбаров с прохудившимися крышами. Вдали слева виднеется стог сена. Небо голубое с легкими белыми облачками.
