The image displays a landscape from an elevated viewpoint. Trees obscure the horizon on rolling hills or a small ridge. A path or river winds through the scene toward the background. The etching technique provides detailed texture of the trees and landscape. Various tall, slender trees are depicted, with a monochromatic color scheme of black and white. A stream, rocks, and a wooded area form layers in the composition.
