A silver birch tree in a sparsely-wooded valley. The valley stretches from the left foreground away to the right. About five sheep walk single file towards the viewer along a narrow path on the right slope. In the right foreground the silver birch tree dominates the picture, stretching into a blue and white sky. Brown bracken and green grass cover the ground. Just behind the birch is a rowan tree in berry. Other trees dot the right slope, while the left slope is more thickly covered in trees with narrow, twisted trunks. Other tall delicate trees with greenish foliage top the hill to the left, and blue peaks can be seen in the distance. A fallen silver birch trunk in the foreground lies across the sheeps' path.
