Brown rectangular artwork with a thin light brown border. A group of around 20 white sheep scattered across the artwork, some grazing with their heads down. The sheep are painted in various white shades with black outlines. The background is a solid brown color with some lighter brown and gray patches at the top. There are some black scribbles on the artwork. The overall style appears to be a simple, rustic depiction. Title: Sheep. Artist: Winslow Homer.
