Sembrador (Sower) is a life-size stone sculpture of a man and a dog is located in a niche on the left side of the entrance to the building. The man is bare-chested and wearing trousers that are rolled up to just below his knees. He is looking slightly up and to his right. He carries a sack around his waist for holding seeds. His right hand is holding the side of the sack and his left hand is closed as if holding a handful of seeds. A dog is lying down and curled around the man's right leg. The dog is looking to its left and its right front paw protrudes over the plinth.
