Description: | A mountainous landscape with a ruined abbey and castle. A track runs across the centre of the picture, on which are travelling various figures, one on horseback, another leading four horses pulling a hay cart. Figure walks behind with a knap-sack and two stand nearby with tools. From a higher viewpoint in the foreground are two figures resting by some rocks, one points to the right, leading the eye to the rest of the picture. To the right a man piles foliage on a fire, smoke billowing up. A woman bends down to a child and two goats graze nearby. Figures can be seen working in the fields in the middle distance. Across the track stands a wooden structure and the ruined abbey. Steep mountains frame the picture left and the ruined castle can be seen high on a hill in the central distance.
