The image shows a landscape with a high horizon, revealing distant mountains and hills. Tall trees are centrally located, with detailed brushstrokes creating texture in foliage and rocks. The color scheme is monochromatic using blacks, whites, and grays. A path with figures and a horse is prominent, while a river is visible on the right.
