Hazy rural landscape scene depicting cattle drinking from a watering hole. In the background, a group of bare trees cast a dark shadow to the left and reflect in the rippled water below. Behind the trees and in the distance, a meadow flecked with yellow and rich green fields are visible beneath a cloudy blue sky.
