The image shows a slightly elevated perspective looking down on a pastoral scene. The horizon is low in the composition with trees and small structures. The sky has sparse linear brushstrokes suggesting clouds. There are figures close to us interacting and further away two figures standing. The color palette is monochromatic with dark ink lines on a pale background.
