The image shows a landscape scene with a horizon line low in the composition. Distant hills, a small tower-like structure on the left, two riders on horseback in the center, and a thatched-roof cottage surrounded by trees on the right are visible. The scene includes fine etching lines depicting movement and texture in foliage and clothing. The image is monochrome, using shades of gray with some detailed vegetation and figures next to a cow in the foreground.
