The image is viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon line is depicted high in the image with stylized trees and buildings. Small houses are seen along the horizon. The artwork features a flat, graphic style with simplified shapes and defined outlines. The brushstrokes are not visible, suggesting a print or stencil technique. The color palette consists mainly of warm tones: ochre yellow, pink, and brown. A horse-drawn carriage is in motion in the forefront. Stylized trees and simplistic buildings are seen in the distance.
