DescriptionThe image is a landscape in which a sandy path, beginning in the lower left and extending diagonally to the middle right, cuts through ground covered in green grass; by the path, on the left, a female figure sits on a log, next to her sits a black dog, in front of her are two turkeys, a small gaggle of geese and a donkey. Behind the figure a tree, a split rail fence, and foliage fill in the left middle ground; a lone seagull flies in the cloudy sky near the center.
