The image depicts a monochromatic scene from an early 20th-century exhibition, labeled "A valle - Esposiz. Nazionale Torino 1902," suggesting it was part of the National Exhibition in Turin held that year. It shows a pastoral setting with several sheep grazing on grass beside rocks and sparse trees under what appears to be an overcast sky. A figure stands amidst these animals, dressed in attire consistent with rural farm labor or herding from around the turn of the century—complete with a wide-brimmed hat for sun protection.

The environment is rustic, indicative of agricultural life during that period, likely captured by R. Galli D'Appollonio as noted at the bottom right corner. The image's tone and detail suggest it may be an old photograph or postcard. Notable features include the clarity with which the sheep are rendered amidst a somewhat blurred natural backdrop, emphasizing their presence within this rural tableau.
