The painting depicts a wide view from a slightly elevated perspective, showing a scene of daily life. The horizon is high in the image, where green hills meet the sky. The sky is painted with soft brushstrokes in blue, pink, and orange hues. The grassy plains in the forefront and background have figures, tepees, people, and horses engaged in various activities. The oval frame contains the composition. The color palette is natural and earthy, dominated by greens and browns, with pastel hues in the sky.
