The image displays a child standing in a full-length position, facing slightly left and looking at the viewer. The child is wearing a cloak with a hood covering most of their head. They are dressed in a long garment and hold a wooden staff with one hand. In the background, sheep are grazing on the ground, with foliage and a tree trunk visible, suggesting a pastoral outdoor scene. The sky is not visible, keeping the focus on the child, the sheep, and the environment.
