A dog standing on a fresh grave looking mournfully. Lithograph after E. H. Landseer.

The shepherd is mourned only by his faithful collie, who crouches in an attitude of grief

The freshly cut sods of the grave, the unfinished inscription on the headstone and the tools next to it indicate the recent death of the shepherd
