This painting shows a flock of sheep in a snowy landscape. The sheep are gathered on a hill, with some standing and others lying down. The sky above is cloudy and grey, with a few patches of blue visible through the gaps. In the foreground, there are some twigs and branches scattered about, adding texture to the scene. The sheep themselves are depicted in various poses, giving the impression of movement and life. The artist's use of watercolour creates a soft, dreamy effect, capturing the quiet beauty of the winter scene.
