A reddish-brown Highland cow with long, curved, light-brown horns is positioned in the center foreground of the image, facing directly towards the viewer. The cow has shaggy, reddish-brown hair covering most of its face, with a visible light-colored snout and small horns just above its eyes. Its body is covered in the same shaggy hair, and its legs are visible underneath. The cow stands in a field of dry, brown and green grass that extends into the background. In the far background, a line of dark green trees is visible along the horizon. Above the trees is a cloudy, greyish-white sky. The lighting appears to be overcast and natural.
