- Abstract
-
A woodcutter dressed in tattered clothing is seated on the right in a wooded meadow landscape with hills in the distance. A clay pipe is stuck in a buttonhole of his coat. The woodcutter holds the handle of a shovel resting between legs. A scythe and pickax lie at his feet. A young boy dressed in green sits to the left on the foundation of a rudimentary structure and a rock wall. A curly-haired dog lies at his feet. Behind him a large ax leans against the post of a thatched structure. The two appear to be sharing a meal. The woodcutter balances a mug on his knee. A small wooden barrel with bread is visible in the right foreground. A basket of fruit sits on the ground between them while the boy holds a hat filled with apples on his lap
