The painting depicts a young girl standing in a wooded area, surrounded by two cows. The girl is dressed in a pink shirt and blue skirt, with a white apron and a yellow headscarf. She is holding a rope in her hands, which is attached to the cow on her right. The cow on her left is grazing on the grass. In the background, there are trees and a blue sky with white clouds. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the depiction of the girl and the cows. The use of color is muted, with earthy tones dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of serenity and tranquility. The painting is a great example of William Morris Hunt's work, and it can be found at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
