A large landscape fills the image. In the foreground, there are trees and bushes on a small hill. A man and a child are standing on the hill, with the man holding a long object. There are two people sitting on the left side of the hill. In the midground, there is a field with several people scattered throughout. In the background, a village is seen on the left side, with a church steeple rising above the buildings. There are hills and more fields behind the village. The sky above is light and featureless.
