The image shows a landscape with a low horizon line, emphasizing the sky. A church with a tall steeple is slightly left of center. A grassy embankment leads to the water's edge where two figures are seated. In the middle distance, there are fields, trees, grazing animals, and a bridge. The background shows a cityscape under cloudy skies. The color palette is muted with pale greens, browns, and light blues. The brushstrokes are loose and sketch-like.
