Domenico Pecchio was born in Casaleone in 1687 and trained in Verona under Antonio Balestra, who praised his manner in a 1733 letter to Gabburri. Active almost exclusively in Verona, he became one of the leading Veronese landscape painters of the eighteenth century, developing an Arcadian idiom indebted to Marco Ricci, Francesco Zuccarelli and Giuseppe Zais, and collaborated with Giambettino Cignaroli and Marco Marcola on the fresco decoration of Palazzo Carli.

The present painting, attributed to Domenico Pecchio, depicts a rustic scene set along a lakeshore. In the foreground two peasants are engaged in working the grain, while a young woman, accompanied by a second female figure, holds the distaff staff in the act of spinning. In the background, a fisherman with a rod discreetly animates the lakeshore, within a landscape punctuated by a rural building and distant mountains.
