The image shows a pastoral scene from a slightly elevated angle, with a herdsman on an ox guiding cattle and sheep through shallow water. Mountains on the left and right imply a valley or passageway. The artwork features delicate lines detailing the textures of the animals, the herdsman's clothing, and the surrounding rocks and earth. The monochromatic palette emphasizes the linear technique, creating a serene atmosphere. The animals wade through the water with their reflections, while the herdsman manages the herd with his staff. In the distance, textured lines suggest lush vegetation against rock formations.
