This is a drawing of two goats lying on the ground with a small wooden structure in the background. The scene depicts a rustic landscape with two goats in the foreground. The goat on the left has curved horns and looks directly at the viewer, while a smaller goat lies beside it. In the background, a cart or wooden wagon is seen on a slight rise of earth. The sky has softly drawn clouds, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The drawing uses fine line work to detail the fur of the goats and the landscape.
