The image shows an expansive landscape with undulating hills. The horizon is high in the composition, with a line of white fabric panels running parallel to the viewer, then weaving towards the hills. The panels have soft folds that catch the light. In the distance, the fabric continues over the hills. The color palette consists of earthy browns and greens of the hills contrasted with the white fabric, set against a muted sky.
