Summary

A tightly-structured scene of a diagonal line of farm buildings viewed from behind a stone wall in the foreground, painted in thick blocks of flat colour. The farm buildings run in a sloping-downwards line along the middle ground of the picture, with the ground falling away to right, and rising as hills in the background. There is a haystack/shrubbery on the left of the buildings with a ladder leaning against it.
