The image displays a landscape seen from a slightly elevated viewpoint. The horizon is in the lower half, with the sky meeting a line of distant trees. Large trees with dense foliage dominate the upper right corner. The artwork features fine, detailed strokes creating a textured effect, depicting trees and grass. The colors are monochromatic, various shades of gray. Cattle are seen resting and grazing. Low-lying trees blend into the horizon, and expansive clouds fill the sky.
