The image depicts a pastoral scene with a slightly elevated perspective. There are trees, a structure resembling a ruined tower or castle, and a rustic house with a sloped roof in the mid-distance. The brushwork is fine and detailed, resembling etching. The palette is monochromatic with dark lines on a light background. A figure in simple garments is kneeling on a path near yoked oxen. The path leads into the distance, showing a mix of human and natural elements.
