The scene depicts an outdoor public area in Mürren, Switzerland, under bright daylight. In the foreground, a large, shaggy-haired white dog with a red collar and black leash is positioned on a bed of grey rocks. The dog's left ear is black, and there are black markings around its left eye, while its right ear shows black spots. Its head is lowered, and its snout appears to be sniffing the rocks directly in front of it. The dog's body is slightly turned, presenting its hindquarters towards the viewer. The ground consists primarily of irregularly shaped grey rocks, with some dry foliage and debris scattered amongst them. In the background, to the left, a dark-slatted bench with concrete supports is situated on a paved surface. Three individuals are partially visible near this bench. On the far left, a person wearing a light-colored hat and shirt is partially obscured. To their right, a second person is mostly hidden behind the bench. The third individual, a female with dark hair tied in a bun, is wearing a dark jacket over a light top and a grey backpack with an orange pouch attached. She is leaning forward, facing downwards towards the area in front of the bench. The surface behind the bench is a lighter-colored gravel or paved path.
