The image depicts a vast landscape with a horizon line dividing the sky and prairie fields. Large herds of buffalo are scattered on the plains, visible as dark silhouettes. The ground is covered in green vegetation and trees, with brushstrokes indicating movement. Wolves are gathered around a fallen buffalo, depicted in detail. The color palette includes earthy greens and browns for the ground and trees, contrasting with pastel blues and pinks of the sky.
