Español: Cabaña en el algodonal

Una cabaña oscura de troncos con chimenea se levanta bajo un cielo azul profundo y lleno de nubes, con motas blancas de algodón llenando el campo detrás. Gallinas y gansos se reúnen sobre la hierba en primer plano, mientras un árbol de ramas desnudas y un pequeño cobertizo enmarcan el lado izquierdo. Pintada al óleo con formas audaces y contorneadas.
