A horizontally oriented print in black ink depicts a flock of sheep. In the foreground, curly-fleeced sheep lie huddled or stand. A wooden fence separates the animals from spindly trees and a gabled barn on the left. On the far right, a church spire rises on the horizon. A diagonal trail of birds populates the sky. Densely etched horizontal lines texture the vast sky against the off-white paper.
