The observer's viewpoint is slightly below the scene, emphasizing the cow and other subjects in the middle area. The horizon is positioned low, with a hint of a landscape stretching into the distance. Beyond the central subjects, a faint outline of a building amidst trees breaks the horizon line. The engraving lines capture textures and shadows with precision. The color palette is monochromatic, ranging from brown to gray. Closest to us, a cow stands beside a woman and a dog. Trees provide a canopy, with branches extending across the top of the image, and various elements fade into the background.
