The image displays a pastoral scene with a gentle rolling landscape. The horizon is visible with distant hills and clusters of trees. Tall cypress-like trees are seen along the horizon adding vertical interest. The artwork features fine linework in an etching style, with varied strokes showing texture and shadow. The color palette is monochromatic, using black or dark sepia lines against a light beige background. Two canines are depicted, one lying down and the other standing, framed by tree branches. Beyond them are undulating terrain and clusters of small trees, leading towards distant hills.
