A monochromatic, horizontally oriented cliché-verre depicts a landscape with cattle. In the middle ground, cows stand near two spindly trees, including one lighter animal to the right. Heavy, gestural scratches create a textured, gray-toned sky and reflective water in the foreground. Dark silhouettes are cast against a glowing white light behind the trees, lending the murky, textured scene a hazy, atmospheric quality.
