Description: A man kneels, resting his elbows on the rear end of a cart, hands clasped. In the cart there are several sacks. The cart has two wheels and seems to be pulled by horses which can be seen in the background. The wheels appear to be stucks in the ground. From the clouds in the sky, a shirtless Hercules with long hair points at the man kneeling next to the cart.
