The image shows a pastoral scene with rocky terrain in the foreground and a vast landscape stretching into the distance. The horizon is high in the composition with clouds sketched above it. The artwork has varying brushstrokes, from dense cross-hatching in the foreground to lighter linework in the skies and waters. The color palette is monochromatic, emphasizing line work and shading typical of an etching or engraving style. In the distance, rocky landscape, small structures, and a boat with figures are depicted. Two figures in flowing robes stand at the water's edge in the foreground.
