The work is presented with an approach in the open space of the corral, a construction that seems to exude a quiet peasant life, but which is at the same time impregnated with an almost architectural order. Cézanne, known for his ability to break down visual elements in their basic structure, uses the perspective to give depth to the plane, building the scene with shapes that seem to be stacked and interact with each other.
