A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a girl with light skin tone sleeping on the ground to our right. Dressed in a blue gown with white sleeves, she rests beside a small curled dog. Behind her, a man sits in shadow beneath a dark cloth draped over a gnarled tree. In the middle ground, two sheep lie together. On our left, a brown horse drinks from water beneath a cloudy sky and distant hills.
