Black and white landscape painting. Mountain range extends across the center and right side. The mountains are dark and shadowy on the right and gradually light up towards the center. The sky above the mountain range is cloudy and light gray. The sky is darker on top and gets lighter towards the mountain range. There are trees on the left side. The trees are dark. There is a body of water in the foreground. The body of water reflects the light from the sky. The painting has a white border around it. The painting is signed in the bottom-left corner.
