This is an oil painting featuring a nighttime scene with classical architectural elements and pastoral figures. To the left, a building with arched doorways and orange brickwork is partially visible. In the background, a tree stands against the dark sky, with highlights indicating illumination from an unseen source. The foreground shows a seated figure in period clothing, with their elbow resting on a stone structure, suggesting a contemplative or mournful posture.

On the right, further back in the scene, there are two cows, with one being mostly black and the other having a reddish-brown color. Their presence adds to the bucolic nature of the setting. There's also a figure standing beside the cows, wearing clothing that suggests a rural or peasant lifestyle, typical of pastoral scenes in classical or Renaissance paintings.

The overall composition suggests a narrative, potentially drawing from mythology or allegory, and conveys a mood that ranges from tranquility to introspection. The juxtaposition of architectural and natural elements along with the human and animal subjects creates a layered tableau. The dark, rich tones and the subtle lighting effects are characteristic of paintings from the Baroque period, which often sought to evoke emotion and drama.
