The image shows a landscape view with trees blocking the horizon and curving land. The ground and water meet at the horizon. The trees are depicted with bold brushstrokes, and animals are grazing near them. The color palette is monochromatic with dark lines contrasting against the sandy background. Water in the forefront reflects shapes above and shows movement. In the distance, the strokes indicate the rising land beyond the trees.
