The image depicts pastoral scenes with decorative elements. It is divided into two oval vignettes on a pale yellow background. The left vignette shows lush greenery and animals, with a figure holding a staff seated beside a goat. The right vignette includes a cow, a sheep, and another reclining animal, surrounded by greenery with flowing lines, rich greens, bright whites, and red accents. The style is reminiscent of Jean-Baptiste Pillement.
