The image shows a landscape with a river flowing from near to far in the center, surrounded by hills and a large conical hill in the distance. The painting has smooth brushstrokes and a color palette of green hues for the vegetation, muted earth tones for the hill, and soft tones for the sky. There is a small canoe with figures near the river.
