The image is a landscape drawing from an elevated perspective. The scene depicts hills, a building on a hill with trees around it, two figures, a dog, and oxen near a circular trough. Fine brushstrokes detail the foliage and texture of the landscape. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of brown and sepia. A large tree on the left frames the image, leading the eye towards the hills and the sky.
