Short description:  The painting depicts a domestic scene: a man in a light-colored shirt and a cap and a boy in a red shirt who are sawing a log using a manual bow saw together. Nearby, there are two girls sitting on the grass – one in a blue outfit with a white collar and the other in a pinkish-lilac dress. An axe, a wooden box, and cut pieces of wood lie on the ground near the workers. A wooden fence, trees, and a haystack are visible in the background. The color palette is dominated by natural, subdued tones. The artist's signature, "S. Katashov," appears in the bottom left corner.
