- Ruellan depicts the southern ideals and traditions of agriculture. A farmer/plow boy pauses from his plowing for a drink with his team mules waiting. A mother is holding a baby. A small boy holds onto his mother's apron while two young girls hoe the daffodil flower garden. The family's house occupies the background.
