The image shows a sepia-toned landscape with hills and a high horizon. A small structure is visible on a distant hill. Sheep are scattered across a rocky hill, some lying down and others grazing. The terrain slopes downward into a valley and rises up into distant hills. The color palette is limited to shades of brown, emphasizing texture.
