A landscape with a woman, child, man, dog, livestock, and trees under a cloudy sky
Detailed Description
The image shows a landscape under a vast, cloudy sky. The upper left shows a light blue sky filled with large, billowy white and grey clouds. On the right, a cluster of tall, gnarled trees with sparse foliage rises, their dark trunks extending from the bottom to the top edge. In the foreground, near the base of the trees on the right, two figures and a dog are situated. A woman, wearing a white cap, a red top, and a dark skirt, sits on the ground, holding a swaddled infant. Next to her, a man stands, dressed in yellow breeches and a brown tunic, with a large brown pack on his back. A small, brown and white dog with floppy ears is positioned near the man's feet, looking down. To the left of the figures, a group of livestock occupies the grassy, undulating terrain. Several white sheep are resting or grazing, some lying down. Among them are a few brown goats. Further back and to the left, a large, light brown cow stands, facing left. In the far distance, another cow is visible in a field under the expansive sky. The ground is a mix of greens and browns, appearing as earth and sparse vegetation.
