The image depicts a landscape with two peasants and a dog. The scene features a large tree with a thick trunk and sprawling branches on the right side. A smaller tree stands on the left. The two peasants are on the bottom left side. One peasant is wearing a hat and appears to be walking away from the viewer with their back to the viewer. The other peasant is further away. A small dog is walking near the peasants. The background features a cloudy sky. The image is rendered in black and white with a thin border around the edge. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom.
