Transportation of beer

In the foreground, two oxen, whose anatomical drawing reveals the profound study conducted by the artist on the animals of the Po Valley, pull a heavy barrel containing beer, followed by a farmer in a checked shirt. In the background, beyond the meadows dotted with flowers, the landscape is dominated by the presence of a castle surrounded by water, a recurring element in many of the artist's works as a reminder of lost Switzerland. To the right and left, other groups of houses, immersed in the twilight light, evoke scenarios of rural serenity.
