A horizontally oriented oil painting with thick brushstrokes depicts a woman with a light skin tone tending to sheep in a grassy clearing. Standing in the middle ground, she wears a pink headscarf and blue skirt while looking at a dark blue cloth in her hands. In the foreground, a large, woolly sheep grazes facing right beside a smaller lamb. Thick green trees form a textured background, dappled light falling across the scene.
