Four young men dressed in long dresswear and cotton caps are standing in a pond surrounded by trees and shrubs. The boy in the foreground of the print is dragging a lamb by its front leg into the water and looking at his friend in he backround carrying his lamb on his back. The boy draging the lamb is bent foreward, his behind in the air. Next to him a boy is smiling and holding both legs of a lamb as if dancing with it, and stepping backwards into the water. The boy has a content look on his face. On the very right, another boy is dragging a sheep in the backround but he is facing away.
