A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a pastoral landscape with five cows. On our left, a reddish-brown cow reclines in the grass. In the center, a white cow with brown spots faces us, standing beside a black cow. Further back, a tan cow stands near a watermill. Nestled among trees, a thatched cottage features a figure with light skin tone in a doorway. Above, birds drift across a cloudy blue sky.
