A man smokes his pipe as he leads a yoke of oxen down a country road. His cart is filled to the brim with freshly-cut sugar cane. Standing in the wagon, his son guides the animals in the warm tropical sunshine. In the past, the ox-drawn cart was the main means of transportation of goods and people in rural areas of Brazil.

Titled "Carro de Boi" in Portuguese.
