The image shows a pastoral scene with several cows. Two cows are close to the viewer, with one lying down and the other standing. The background features distant trees and a sky with stylized clouds. The etched technique is used to depict fine details in the cows' textures and the grass. The color palette consists of varying shades of sepia, giving the image an antique look. Another cow can be seen grazing in the distance.
