Three men stand close together on a stony hillside, holding a pole on their shoulders from which a skinned goat hangs by its legs. The man on the left is bareheaded, the middle man wears a dark hat and has a pipe in his mouth, and the man on the right wears a wide-brimmed hat. Behind them, cultivated fields and low hills stretch into the distance under a pale sky.
