Late summer 

"Late Summer" by Hugo Mühlig depicts a rural scene of an elderly farmer tilling a field with the assistance of a large ox. The ox, with its distinctive white and reddish-brown markings, stands patiently while the farmer digs the soil with a hoe. The scene is set in a field, with a distant landscape of houses and trees in the background, suggesting the end of a long day's work under a fading summer sky. This depiction of a traditional farming practice showcases Mühlig's interest in capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people in rural settings. The painting's realistic style and attention to detail highlight the connection between humans and animals in their shared labor and the beauty found in the simplicity of rural life.
