About this object

There is a rustic landscape with a scene of a sheep shearing. At the far right is a tall gnarled tree with a flock of sheep at its roots. There are bundles of wool near the tree on the ground. A woman is standing in a green overblouse and brown skirt near the center of the picture. She is watching a man is shearing a sheep. There is another person between these two figures. There is a rail fence enclosing the shearing area and beyond the fence are more sheep. In the far left distance is a farmhouse, a wide vista of fields and a cloudy sky.
