Evensong [No date]

View of sheep reclining in the roots of a gnarled tree. In the foreground is grass and a section of root. In the middle ground, at the center of the composition, are two sheep reclining. The one on the left faces in profile to the left, with its head lifted up and resting on the root behind it. To its right is another sheep that is nestled next to its companion, with its body facing toward the left, and its head turned in profile to the right. These two central sheep are cornered off by the large roots, but behind these roots to the left, is more open grass, and two more sheep which face away from the viewer. To the right are more small branches/roots from the tree, and grass. In the background, the main section of the tree trunk lays out horizontally, with a small bird perched at its center, directly above the two central sheep. In the left section of the composition, there are the leaves and branches from the top of the tree, and the suggestion of further sheep reclining in the grass. The sky is blue with slight, white clouds.
