The image shows a tranquil body of water with a dense grouping of trees in the background. The horizon is not distinctly visible, but suggested around the tops of the trees. The drawing is detailed with pencil brushstrokes, depicting the foliage and tree trunks. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of gray. The water reflects the trees, and a branch extends into the scene on the right.
