A horizontally oriented print in black ink on aged paper depicts a light-skinned man in a wide-brimmed hat. He stands beside a cluster of wooly sheep grazing on a pale clearing, holding a long staff as shadows obscure his face. To the right, dense, dark trees with finely hatched foliage fill the frame. On the left, a bright sky features wispy clouds and diagonal lines, creating sharp contrast against the woods.
