Description
A herd of cattle and sheep moves along a country road through open fields. The animals fill the foreground, while a few figures guide them from the side. Low hills and scattered trees recede beneath a clouded sky. From different coats to winding road, the scene shifts. A visual link joins different coats to winding road, keeping both in view. The color and shape of different coats meet winding road through a distinct contrast.
