The image shows a pastoral scene with sheep and people dispersed throughout the area. Closest to the viewer, a group of sheep is depicted standing and lying down with intricate fur details. Two figures, potentially shepherds, are on the right interacting with the sheep. The horizon is partially obscured by trees and a distant building with classical architecture. The scene is rendered in precise, controlled strokes, resembling an etching or engraving, in monochromatic tones of brown. Trees frame the composition and guide the viewer's eye towards the central group of sheep and people.
