Beskrivning:

In the foreground, a peasant ploughs a field with a plough pulled by two oxen, the man steering them with a long goatee. Winegrowers prune the vine in an enclosure on the left and plough the soil with a hoe to aerate the soil: these are the first ways of the vine. On the right, a man leans over a sack, probably to draw some seeds that he will then sow. Finally, in the background, a shepherd takes the dog that guards his flock. In the background is the castle of Lusignan (Poitou), property of the Duke of Berry who had it modernized. On the right of the picture, above the Poitou tower, a winged dragon representing the fairy Mélusine.
