We see here a beautifull picture in a natural composition. It's the end of the day and the harvest has been finished. The people who worked the whole day in the shining sun , are here in the shadow of the evening sun. In the background we see the steam driven agricultural engine.That's for sure the reason this picture was made.
On the foreground we see the father Ivo Spincemaille with a glass of beer in his hand in îont of his agricultural engine and he enjoys himself and is self-satified with the labour done. At the same man-side we see his son René, his one year older brother being absent.
Beside Ivo stays his wife Eulalie with a carefull expression on her face who has to hold in a good direction the vitality of her husband and at her right side the dog who know where is the place to be. Anna the oldest daughter close this left side. She came from the farm with a can of beer for the workers. In the middle we see Jules the youngest son.
Above this line you will see Anna staying in a beam of sun who enjoys herself from the attention of the two other young boys.
Just before he will take the picture the fotograph asked mother Eulalie to put her head of straw out of the central picture in order to accentuate the expression of her face. Nothing was then disturbing this peacefull scene unless on the downside of the picture we see the impression of a chicken who passed for a too short time picking some grains and who was not aware of what was going on.
