A farmer returns from an early morning stick harvest, followed by his shadow.
In this image, the layers move from bottom to top. The bottom layer of this stack is a wall forming a roadway for the farmer. The middle layer gives us farmer and the incongruous shadow. Because of the early morning light, the shadow incongruously lags far behind.
The top layer is decorative crown for the image. The man carries a load of sticks, and giant sticks mimic his pace from the top of the building. The curving roof embellishments seem to echo the forward thrust of the farmer’s leg, as well.
