The artwork depicts a scene with a horizon slightly above the center, showing distant mountains and a body of water to the left. The brushstrokes are loose and sketchy, capturing the rustic texture of the landscape. The color palette includes muted earth tones with hints of pale blue and green, contrasted by warm tones. On the left, there is a small shrub, and on the right, a large tree. In the middle, a seated figure holds an infant, with other children nearby, playing by the tree. The background shows hills and sky.
