Old Couple in the Farmyard

The two sit side by side on the grass: she holds a tin pail of grain in her lap, he holds his removed hat with four eggs in it. Each extends an open palm of grain toward the other. She wears a red kerchief with white dots and a yellow dress printed with small flowers; he is in a grey shirt and dark trousers. Two white hens peck below, with small flowers scattered between them. The pail of grain and the hat of eggs balance the group on either side.
