The image is a landscape scene viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is situated near the upper third of the image, visible as a distant line of hills or low mountains beneath a sky filled with scattered, soft clouds. The artwork features fine, detailed lines that create texture and depth, particularly in the foliage and the outlines of the buildings. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of grey. Closest to us, there's a patch of textured ground leading to a small group of trees and a building with an archway. Beyond the structure, a few figures can be seen engaging with horses near a cart. Further back, there's another tree and more open land stretching towards the hills in the background.
