The painting depicts a landscape with a large body of water on the right side. The water appears light brown and white. A shoreline or riverbank runs along the right side and curves to the left in the foreground. The left side shows a grassy hillside with trees and bushes. There are houses visible on the hillside. The sky above is cloudy and brownish-gray. A darker horizon line is visible in the distance. The overall color palette is subdued with shades of brown, green, and gray. The painting style appears impressionistic with visible brushstrokes.
