Four people are working in a muddy field, preparing it for planting, possibly rice, under a cloudy sky. The field is divided into sections by raised mud banks. One person is standing with a long-handled tool, while the other three are bending over or squatting, working the soil. Behind the field, there is a green grassy area with trees and palm trees. In the background, there is a forested mountain and a very dark sky. The view is partially obstructed by a dark wooden railing in the foreground.
