This oil painting portrays a rural agricultural landscape at either dawn or dusk, set within an area characteristic of the countryside historically associated with Santiago, Chile. The upper portion of the scene features a pale, muted pinkish-orange sky with a luminous, circular celestial body (sun or moon) positioned low on the left horizon. A distant band of darker green and reddish-brown foliage separates the sky from the midground, which consists of dense green trees and bushes, alongside a brighter green field to the right. In the foreground, a light brown dirt path with visible tracks curves gently from the lower right towards the upper left. To the left, a partial wooden fence is visible amidst thick green foliage, with a fallen log on the ground. Three human figures are depicted on the path. A central figure, wearing a dark hat and reddish-brown attire, walks away from the viewer, leading two light-colored oxen. These oxen are harnessed to a two-wheeled wooden cart, laden with bundled materials and partially covered by a reddish cloth. Further back on the path, a second, less distinct cart is visible with at least one additional figure. The painting captures a tranquil moment of return from fieldwork.
