The image depicts a scene within an oval boundary. The horizon is slightly above the painting's center, obscured by tall trees and vegetation. The brushstrokes are soft, creating a textured look for the foliage. The color palette includes earthy tones dominated by greens, browns, and deep reds. In the foreground, there is a narrow canoe with figures inside, and on the riverbank, more figures are pulling something with a rope. The background shows a dense forest.
