A man is ploughing a field with a horse. Several other workers behind him are working manually with the soil. A fjord and a snowy mountain behind them.

Sinding is known as a "Lofoten painter" and is said to have "discovered" Lofoten as a subject of art, even though others had painted Lofoten before him. His first journey to Lofoten was in the winter 1881-1882, where he did studies and sketches of the landscape which he took with him back to his atelier in München. Therefore we can assume that the picture is from Lofoten in Northern Norway, where the snow would still lay low in the mountains in the spring when the fields needed to be ploughed.
