In the right corner, at the edge of the pool, lies a fourth cow, also brown with white spots, which is seen in full face. Behind it to the right lie two sheep. In the centre behind the cows a shepherdess, in a blue dress with yellow sleeves and cap, sits on a horse, which is seen from the back. Her right hand rests in her lap ; she points with outstretched left hand to the right, as if to show the road to an old peasant standing beside her. The sunlight falls on their heads and shoulders. To the left is another cow at the foot of the hill, which serves as a side-scene on a stage. In the middle distance the ground rises to another hill, crowned with a castle in a walled park. At the foot of this hill to the right is a little flock of sheep at a watering-place, with a shepherd and a man on a mule. Blue hills on the horizon. " A beautiful production " (Sm.).
