Photographed from behind the figures, this black and white portrait depicts John Elmer Still, Clyfford Still's father, plowing a field with the assistance of an unidentified farmer in Alberta, Canada. Still stands atop the tractor, while his companion trails behind the machine with a plow. The soil in the foreground appears to be freshly tilled. A dense forest occupies the background of the image.
