The image shows a landscape with a watermill, trees, rocks, and figures on horseback. The style is detailed with fine cross-hatching and line work creating texture in the foliage and rocks. The composition has a monochrome palette, emphasizing shapes and volume through line and shading. People are depicted riding horses on a path towards the mill, surrounded by nature and architecture.
