DescriptionThree bighorn sheep stand on the side of a rocky mountain which slopes down to the left. The sheep to the right is in shadow and has its back facing the viewer while the other two sheep are illuminated by the sun and look towards the viewer. Mountains brightened by the sun are in the background. Some grass and other plants grow out of the cracks in the rocks.
