Landscape with resting shepherds in the foreground. One is sitting almost at centre while playing a wind instrument, another is resting on the ground opposite to the musician, giving his shoulders to the viewer. A couple is embracing. A shepherd holding a stick on his shoulder is walking up a path. River and mountains in the distance. Atop the rock in the middle-ground is a round shaped building. Several animals and shepherds scattered in the distance.
