Description

A large flock of sheep, many of them pale and woolly, crowds across flat, stony ground in the foreground. A single figure in dark, hooded clothing stands among them, slightly behind the front of the flock. Behind them a pale expanse of flat ground or water lies under a heavy cloudy sky, with low flat-topped hills and a line of trees on the right.
