- This oil painting depicts a wagon full of cotton being driven up a steep incline. Drawn by a white horse, the wagon has a single wheel axis, with a red-spoked wheel. A human figure wearing a yellow shirt, black cap and brown trousers stands on a platform and clings on to the end of the cart. The driver sitting up front wears a large white hat, red shirt and black trousers. The horse stands at the foot of a steep incline, while two small trees or bushes are placed under the incline in the lower left corner of the image.
