The central focus is a Highland cow with a thick, shaggy reddish-brown coat. It is captured in profile, walking across a dirt path in a wooded area at sunset. Its long, curved horns are highlighted by the golden light. The wide, textured dirt road leads the viewer's eye straight toward the horizon. The path is flanked by tall, slender, leafless trees. Their intricate, dark branches reach upward, forming a natural archway over the road. The sun is positioned low on the horizon, directly at the end of the path. This creates a powerful backlighting effect, casting long, dramatic shadows toward the foreground and rimming the cow's fur in a golden glow.
