The painting depicts a landscape view from a high vantage point. A cityscape is visible in the distance. The city has a wall around it and contains many buildings, some with domes and minarets. The foreground shows a valley with steep cliffs and rolling hills. A group of people sits on a hillside in the lower center. Trees are scattered throughout the landscape. The sky is cloudy. The dominant colors are shades of brown, gray, and green.
