The picture shows two dark, hairy sheep with large horns, standing in an open field with a wooded background. The animals are male (rams).
The sheep on the left is larger and more forward in the composition. It has thick, curly horns extending close to its head. It stands straight forward and looks directly into the camera. The sheep on the right is slightly further back and stands more in profile. This animal too has large, graceful horns curling outwards. Its head is slightly tilted, and its eyes, which appear to have an orange-yellow hue, are clearly visible and focused on the viewer. Both sheep have thick, rough, black or very dark brown fur. The background consists of a dark green and densely vegetated forest.
Some lighter patches are visible between the trees. Between the two sheep is a wooden pole. The foreground is a field of short, light green grass. The lighting is muted and dark, giving the photo a somewhat mystical or melancholic atmosphere. The light seems to come from above, creating soft shadows. The focus is sharp on the sheep, while the background is slightly out of focus.
