This oil painting shows a peaceful landscape scene of a wheat field. In the foreground are detailed painted ears of wheat that seem to sway gently in the wind. The background shows a wide wheat field stretching to the horizon. It is painted in a soft, warm yellow colour that conveys the summer heat and the dryness of the ripe grain. The colour combination of the golden field and the blue sky creates a beautiful contrast. The composition of the painting draws the viewer's eye from the detailed ears of wheat in the foreground across the wide field to the horizon and the sky, conveying a sense of expanse and freedom. Overall, the painting conveys an atmosphere of tranquillity, warmth and the beauty of nature in a rural setting at harvest time. The technique of oil on velvet is very rarely used as it is very time-consuming and difficult.
