Comments - Handsome view of farmers returning home for the night, one leading an ox laden with bundles of firewood, the figures in dark silhouette. The spire of a pagoda rises above the rooftops in the distance, with a crescent moon glowing in the evening sky as the sun sets, spreading a warm glow across the horizon. Beautifully colored and shaded. A lovely design.
