The image shows a landscape viewed from a slightly elevated point, focusing across a body of water in the lower half of the image. The horizon is defined by a line of dense trees interrupted by ruins or structures. Scattered dark, fluffy clouds drift across the light sky. The artist uses fine, closely drawn lines to build up textures, varying in direction to convey depth and density of foliage and reflections on the water. The color palette is monochromatic, consisting of dark, earthy tones and variations of black and gray. Delicate tree trunks and branches frame the right side of the scene.
