A stone bridge crosses a waterway with a pathway next to it, where a figure on horseback is visible. On the right side, there are dense clusters of trees with intricate foliage. The sky is depicted with fine lines, suggesting a cloudy day. The artwork is in monochrome, using black and white to convey depth and detail.
