Description

A flock of sheep with thick fleeces fills a dirt track between trees. A man in a long coat and backpack walks ahead on the left, and a woman in a headscarf follows with a stick on the right. A low stone kerb runs along the verge, and the print sits on a card with a printed title and quotation below.

English, as on the record
