A rural scene depicting a small herd of calves in a lush meadow within a fertile landscape of gently rolling hills. Painted in a naturalistic style, two calves are visible in the foreground, one resting on the ground, the other standing at its side, calling in gesture. Beyond the scene are four calves in the background; two graze on the left while another rests, and to the right another faces away from the viewer, scratching with its right hind leg. A flock of birds fly over the meadow, some landing on amongst the cattle. An undulating landscape of trees and fields lined with hedgerows is visible in the background, beneath a hazy summer sky.
