The image shows a group of cattle resting on a plain, with a rugged mountainous horizon in the upper third of the image. Detailed line work defines the textures of the cattle's coats and the rugged contours of the mountains. Light radiates from the left, casting shadows on the ground. The color palette consists of various shades of black and white. The cattle are in the foreground, some sitting and others standing, with their eyes turned towards the light source.
