National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a pastoral scene with people and animals on a journey. The vantage point is elevated, showing the group below, with trees in the distance. The intricate line work details the animals, clothing, and trees. The color scheme is sepia and brown, creating an earthy tone. Two figures lead the procession close to the viewer, while more figures and animals are seen in the distance. A large tree frames the scene on the right side.
