Two peasants rest on a haystack in a sunlit field, one with a hat over his face; a cart and horses far off under blue sky.

The Siesta (after Millet)

Two peasants rest on a heap of golden hay in a sunlit field, one with a hat tipped over his face and the other with an arm behind her head. A scythe and wooden clogs lie in the stubble, with a cart and horses far off under a blue sky.
