In front of a pasture ground, which is held together by bushes and groups of trees left and right. A herd of white sheep grazes on the right around a shameful shepherd sitting in a red jacket, a red cap on a blue coat. On the left front three children in yellow-brown, blue and red smock playing with garden tools. Through the open center you look over wavy terrain on blue high mountain massifs in the background. Narrow-transverse-oval painting board.
