The image features a landscape viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is near the top of the image below the sky. A ferris wheel is visible on the horizon above trees. The brushstroke technique is evident in defining the terrain and foliage. A horse pulls a cylindrical object on a curved path. The scene is rendered in monochromatic tones emphasizing light and shadow, with varying intensities of black and white. Sloping hills and scattered trees frame the scene on the left side.
