Description

A small boy in a light shirt and shorts holds a rope attached to a large pale cow with darker legs, its head lowered towards the grass. A second, taller child stands partly behind the cow on the left. Behind them, a plastered wall with wooden shutters and a brick corner forms the building, with bare patchy ground and tall grass in the foreground.
