The image shows a landscape with a river flowing to the right. A large boulder with a tree is in the foreground, and the horizon is low, just above the distant treeline. The scene is rendered with fine line work and cross-hatching for texture and shadows. The color palette is monochromatic with varying shades of gray on cream-colored paper.
