The image depicts a serene pastoral scene where a flock of sheep graze peacefully across an expansive, lush meadow under the soft, muted light of a cloud-filled sky, illustrating a tranquil moment. Two tall, slender trees stand quietly in the background, their bare branches reaching into the overcast sky, adding a sense of delicate balance and calmness to the composition.
