Black and white image. Square image. A man wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a jacket, and pants stands on the left. He holds a long stick in the right hand, and his left arm is outstretched. A group of sheep are gathered around a doorway with a dark opening. A window with a shutter on the right side of the doorway. The man appears to be herding the sheep. The sheep are various sizes and are viewed from behind. Some are looking into the dark doorway, others are looking around. The ground appears to be dirt or stone and there are some small rocks visible. The background is a stone wall. A signature appears to the left of bottom edge.
