The viewpoint is slightly elevated, showing a riverside scene with a low horizon and dense trees in the background. The brushstrokes are intricate, creating detail in the environment. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of black and white. There is water reflecting the scene, a wooden structure among trees on the left, and a person with horses on the right. The canopy above is detailed with varying tones.
