The image shows a pastoral scene with figures and animals in a landscape. A man is on a horse or donkey surrounded by grazing cows and goats near water. Another man on a raft is guiding cows across the water. In the background, there are cliffs with greenery on top and a castle-like structure on the cliffs. The image is in a monochromatic color palette of shades of gray with soft brushstrokes and a sky with wispy clouds.
