The image shows a gently sloping riverbank extending into the distance, with a low horizon and a light, open sky merging with the distant landscape where water meets land. On the right, a row of trees with dark green foliage lines the riverbank. The painting features loose brushstrokes capturing textures of foliage and ground, creating a serene, impressionistic feel. The earth tones are muted with patches of darkness for shadow, and the color palette includes browns, greens, and hints of blue in the water.
