The image shows a view from an elevated position looking across a gently sloping landscape towards a windmill in the center. The horizon is high, with the windmill on a mound against a clouded sky. Brushstrokes depict textures from the sky to the landscape. In the foreground, small figures and a rowboat are by the water, with the land sloping towards the windmill. The color palette is monochromatic, mainly gray.
