DescriptionA large town is surrounded by open grassy fields. Most buildings appear to be houses, but there are at least three churches, one with a tall steeple. Smoke issues from the smokestacks of two factories. Another industrial building at the far left appears to be a mill. Locomotives with trains of cars are on three different rail lines in the background. Low, tree-covered hills are in the distance. In the foreground, three cows are in a field. A cluster of buildings, possibly a farmhouse and its outbuildings, is in a line of trees beyond. Three small figures are on a dirt road leading into the distance on the right. Clouds are in the sky.
