About this work

A wide panoramic painting in two joined panels shows a broad rural valley filled with throngs of laborers digging in the foreground while horsemen and cavalry move across the ridges beyond. Red-roofed farmhouses, tents and a crowded market-like gathering sit along the lower edge under a cloudy sky.
