The image shows a landscape with a path curving into the scene. Two figures are walking along the path, with another pair further away. Trees line the right side, while various vegetation covers the left side and stretches into the distance. The horizon is obscured by trees and some distant structures. The artwork is done in ink on paper, with intricate line work and a clear sky in the background.
