A landscape painting representing five sheep in a snow-covered field; two on the right are lying on the snowy ground, one on the left in the foreground is grazing, and two sheep are standing behind. There are several more sheep visible in the hazy distance. The sky is white and overcast with a very bright sun, this bright light is reflecting off the snow illuminating the painting.
