This oil painting depicts a lush alpine scene, with figures watching a small cluster of cows at the middle of a grassless farmyard, an undulating line of hills rising to the distance.

This unsigned painting features an illegible stamp to its verso and is mounted in a wooden frame with a gilt finish and a wire for hanging.
