The scene centers on a small herd of cows and sheep grazing outside the farmers' house; a couple sits watching over the animals outside the farmhouse, the woman spinning, the man weaving a wicker basket. Behind them are the other houses of the humble village, made of stone and straw. The work draws on older examples of idealized pastoral landscapes, but with a very working-class and poor setting. The canvas has a slight tear in the center. It is presented in a late 19th-early 20th-century frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no

however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
