This painting depicts an evocative twilight landscape against which stands out the equally melancholic figure of a young girl accompanied by a black lamb, situated at the center of the composition. Surrounding her is a flat landscape—a hill rising above the coast, dotted with reflections and delicate interplay of light and shadow. In the background, a strip of golden light reflected on the sea can be glimpsed beneath a pink sky.
