- Abstract
-
A gentleman sits on a barrel in a farm yard playing his trumpet. The pigs, chickens, geese, a cat and dog and the run away in terror; a cow looks on the scene with a worried expression; chickens on the roof line of an outbuilding look as if they are about to take flight like the doves leaving the dovecote that is tumbling down in the background. The farmer in a smock and his family and dog also run away in the distance
