This painting displays a grassy green landscape with a blue river running through it. The horizon line is high, showing dark purple and blue hills below a light blue sky. The river is in the upper left corner of the field, below the hills, and it runs from the left side up into the center, where it tapers into the distance. The rest of the field is in shades of dark green and light green, with patches of rusty red. The brushstrokes are soft and blurred.
