The painting depicts a woodland scene with three figures and a mountain in the background. The figure on the left is a woman wearing a pink dress, with her arms outstretched. The woman on the left has brown hair and is wearing black shoes. To her right are two men; the man on the left wears a red tunic and pants, and a blue sash; the man on the right wears a green tunic and pants, and a red sash. The man on the right holds a long object in his right hand. There are trees on either side of the figures and a mountain in the background. The sky is brown. A bird-like object flies in the upper-left. The painting is rectangular and has a beige border. The color palette is muted, with earth tones dominating the scene.
