DescriptionA young girl with two braids and a bow in her hair stands, facing right, feeding a goat flowers and grass from her apron. She wears a short dress with full sleeves, shoes, and stockings. A second goat stands behind her with a garland of leaves around its neck. Both goats have long hair and horns. A few scattered flowers and leaves are on the bare ground at the girl's feet. Rocks and grass are in the foreground. A large rock partially covered with vines, and a steep slope are in the background. The lower part of several large tree trunks are visible on top of the slope.
