The image is a lithograph depicting a straight road stretching towards the horizon. The composition features distant structures, trees, shadows along the road, a grassy area with billboards, telegraph poles, and farm buildings. The color palette consists of shades of black and white. The road is defined by bold, parallel lines with slight curvature leading to the vanishing point. The sky is mostly clear with a gradated tone near the top edge.
