A giant scarecrow keeps watch over the autumn fair from a large timber bench. Its smiling sack face sits beneath a floppy straw hat, and oversized fabric flowers brighten the ragged rust-colored coat. Patched green trousers lead down to broad straw-filled shoes resting on the earth beside the bench.

Coarse burlap, loose straw and visible wooden braces make the oversized figure feel like a real handmade decoration. Baskets of gourds, flowering pots and bundles of corn stalks fill the orchard edge around it. Strings of warm bulbs continue into the background beneath a deep blue evening sky, extending the festive setting well beyond the friendly seated figure.
