The shoreline slopes down to the water. The background has more shoreline and trees on the left, and a hazy sky and lake on the right. The drawing is oval-shaped and mounted on a white background with a thin border. The artist's name is written in small text at the bottom right corner. The title is written in small text at the bottom left corner.
