The image is an artwork viewed from a side perspective, arranged horizontally. The sky occupies most of the space above the low horizon. On the horizon, there are slender trees with leafy tops against a pale blue sky. The brushstroke technique is stylized, depicting foliage through clusters of dabs and dots in green and muted red hues. In the foreground, there are two dogs and a deer outlined with red linework, contrasting with the earthy background. The color palette includes earthy brown tones and vibrant greens, creating a rich contrast with the lighter deer and dogs, which have subtle tints of red. The scene portrays a vivid, yet serene, natural setting stylized in a somewhat naive art manner.
