The scene depicts a pastoral landscape in Zdravets, Bulgaria, under a clear to partly cloudy sky. The foreground is a field of dry, sparse green and brown grass. A light-colored dirt path is visible stretching horizontally across the middle ground. The primary subject is a golden-brown cow, standing with its hindquarters oriented towards the viewer. Its head is turned to the left, showing part of its face and a white mark on its forehead. Its tail hangs down, ending with a black brush. Visible between its rear legs are what appear to be testicles, suggesting it is a bull or steer. To the left and slightly behind the main subject, two darker brown cows are visible. One is largely obscured, but its hindquarters and legs are clearly seen on the dirt path. A smaller, black calf with small horns stands directly behind the darker cow. In the right background, a brown and white cow is lying down on the grassy terrain. The background is dominated by a dense cluster of leafless deciduous trees with bare branches, silhouetted against the sky. The overall impression is an outdoor rural setting, possibly in late winter or early spring.
