A farmer and his wife stand in a yard; a parson stands on the right. The wife, on the left, holds a sheath of wheat under one arm and a sucking pig under another; next to her and addressing the parson is the farmer with a baby in his arms. The parson leans on a walking stick as he gives a blessing with his right hand but his facial expression suggests greed. In the background is a large house, a dovecote, and a deer; a peacock sits perched on an iron fence. In the far left background is a church
