This painting depicts a marshy landscape with a reflective stream running through its center. Tall trees border the stream on the left, with more trees visible in the distance beyond a grassy meadow. On either side of the stream are tall yellow and green grasses. The sky above is light blue with wispy clouds, with some small birds flying overhead.
