This print shows a landscape with jagged, pastel-colored mountains in shades of pale pink, purple, and blue, with clusters of evergreen trees at the bottom. Below the mountains, there is a lake with water in shades of blue and green, reflecting the trees, the sky, and the mountains. Closer to us, on the other side of the water, a person in a red shirt and a wide-brimmed hat rides a white horse, with a brown horse following behind and carrying a white pack. They traverse a path alongside the water, framed by a tall tree on the left. The shore they walk on is brown with streaks of green and gray, and the sky above is pale blue with fluffy white clouds.
