What's it doing there?

Perhaps someone with knowledge of 19th century farming could explain what the cart is doing in the river?--Hugh7 (talk) 22:11, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is crossing the river at a ford, surely? You can see the intended exit point on the left of the picture, in front of the building. The other side of the ford is out of the picture to the right. The cart has, presumably, come from the field in which the reapers can be seen working at centre right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.15.172.253 (talk) 10:16, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Number of horses pulling wain

Even the most cursory inspection of the painting makes it clear that not one horse but a pair of horses is pulling the wain. I am correcting the description in the text accordingly.123.211.239.55 (talk) 04:50, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
