The painting depicts a landscape with a central mountain in the distance. The horizon is low, and there are rolling hills and green plant forms in the foreground. The mountain is dark green and black, set against a blue sky with hints of clouds. The brushstrokes are bold, with solid colors in blues, greens, greys, and earth tones.
