The image depicts a scene from an elevated point of view facing a body of water. The horizon is positioned at the top third of the composition. A crescent moon is visible in the sky, reflecting on the water. A row of trees lines the horizon. The brushstrokes are fine and detailed, creating a stippled texture. The color palette is dominated by sepia tones. In the foreground, a woman stands on a path among tall grasses, looking towards the water where wooden boats are moored. The landscape extends into a mix of trees and a hillside.
