A shepherdess stands with her cattle and sheep on a track in the foreground. A wooded area with dead tree trunks is evident in the left foreground; a figure on a pack mule and leading a second approaches along a track from the right; mountains are visible beyond.

The work is one of four pictures by Cimaroli acquired by George III but the set is now incomplete; the fourth has long been missing from the Royal Collection. The three remaining works show a strong influence of Marco Ricci.
