The artwork depicts an elevated landscape with angular mountains sweeping across the image. The horizon is implied by the sloping mountains, with peaks partially covered in snow and clouds. The brushstrokes or etchings are detailed and rhythmic, creating movement and texture. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black, gray, and white. There is a lake curving around the lower structures, with buildings nestled against the mountains. The composition contrasts the rugged mountains with the smooth water surface.
