The image shows a flat plain leading towards a coastal town. The horizon is low in the composition, dividing the image above the town on the right and the buildings and ships on the left. The style features delicate line work outlining figures and the landscape. The color palette is black ink on a muted paper background. Closest to us are figures with pack animals moving across the terrain. In the distance, the town can be seen with small structures and ships. The sky above has sparse cloud formations.
