The image features a landscape with a path winding from the foreground towards the horizon where the land meets a distant hill or mountains. The horizon is positioned about a quarter of the way up from the bottom of the image, with indications of a body of water and a bridge or treeline fading into the distance. The brushwork is sketchy with loose strokes depicting trees and shrubbery, especially in a large cluster to the left. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of sepia, black, and white to emphasize textures and contrasts. The sky above is mostly blank with a subtle texture.
