Description: A scene depicting the simple and happy country life. A shepherdess is depicted sitting on a small hummock, a ribboned staff leaned against her shoulder. A man in uniform kneels before her, clasping her hand in his. Both are looking contentedly at the other. Her crook lies on the ground beside the hummock, and behind it is one of her sheep. In the background are a farmhouse and clocktower, and the top right of the image is the letter B from “Besides”.
