The painting depicts a landscape with a large circle in the center. The circle has a brown background. There are mountains on the horizon, with darker shadows in the crevices. A body of water stretches across the right half of the circle. On the right side of the water are boats with white sails. The left side of the circle features a cliff face with a tree on a rocky outcropping in the foreground. The tree has a thick twisted trunk and branches with leaves. The painting features two red stamps in the top-right corner. The image is on a beige background.
