Detailed Description
A wide landscape is depicted under a cloudy sky. The upper third of the image shows a sky filled with large, grey and white clouds, with hints of lighter blue sky visible in the upper left. In the far distance, a range of hazy, light grey mountains stretches across the horizon. Below the mountains, a valley covered in dense, dark green foliage extends across the midground. In the middle ground, rolling green hills rise on both sides of the central valley. On the left hill, several brown and white cows graze. Towards the center-right, a cluster of dark green trees partially obscures a small, stone tower-like structure and a low-roofed cottage. A light brown dirt path winds from the lower right corner, curving upwards towards the center of the composition. Along this path, a figure in a brown garment walks with a small, dark dog. Further up the path, a two-wheeled cart pulled by two light-colored animals, possibly donkeys, is visible, with another figure beside it. To the right of the path in the foreground, a small, dark pond reflects the sky. Scattered across the lower left hill and near the pond are several small, white sheep. The overall color palette is muted, featuring various shades of green, brown, and grey, with touches of blue in the sky and water.
