The oil on canvas depicts a typical rural subject by Nicolò Cannicci, who signs the work at the bottom left. In the foreground, a shepherd boy with a hat, a saddlebag and a stick is depicted leading a small flock along a road, which can be traced back to the road that runs alongside the walls of Montemiccioli, a village near San Geminiano where the artist retired to work. The shadow is reflected in the pavement covered with a thin layer of snow, which crystallized the branches of the trees and illuminates the walls.
