The painting depicts a forest scene with a brook running through it. The brook is in the foreground and runs from left to right, with a few rocks and branches along its edge. The water is dark and reflective, showing the trees and sky above. A large, fallen tree trunk lies across the brook, stretching from the right side of the painting into the water. The forest floor is covered in green grass and brown dirt, with several trees scattered throughout, some of which have white trunks. The trees are tall and slender, with green leaves. The background is filled with more trees, creating a dense forest atmosphere. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray dominating the scene. A thin, gold border surrounds the painting.
