- Description
- This oil painting depicts a loaded wagon being driven toward a red building with a smoking chimney. The mule drawn wagon is piled with a white lumpy material. It is being driven by a man in a large white colored hat and an orange shirt. A man in a red shirt and white hat stands just outside the red building, working with a large pile of the lumpy white material that tumbles down a ramp from the building. Two other figures, in blue and orange shirts work with rectangular brown bundles. The sky is indicated by blue, white, and grey streaks overhead. The artist has signed her initials [CH] in the lower right corner, with the "C" written backwards.
