The image shows a rugged landscape seen from a slightly elevated angle. The horizon is in the upper third, separating the land from the night sky. A large, swirling cloud formation is present on the horizon. A heavy cloud is elongated horizontally in the sky. The artwork is a black and white woodcut with precise linear strokes creating textures and shading. A person is walking on a path, carrying a large sack. Bushes frame the scene, and small structures can be seen on gentle hills in the distance. Additional clouds rise vertically from the land towards the sky. The monochrome palette emphasizes contrast and depth.
