Abstract: A country woman in an apron and cloak, hands on her hips, laughs as she watches the havoc caused by a sow and her piglets who run in all directions on the road. A horse rears in panic and topples acouple and their buggy. Another man on horseback is pitched forward as his horse noses the piglet caught between his front legs. In the distance beyond a stone wall on the left is the town dominated by four steeples, on the right trees. While the woman is looking away, two small boys, eyeing her carefully, steal from the contents of her wheelbarrow
