The image is presented from a slightly elevated point of view. The horizon is not prominently defined due to the circular framing of the artwork. In the distance, rocky hills are visible. The drawing features detailed and delicate brushstrokes capturing the textures of barren tree branches, rugged rocks, and still water. The color palette is earthy, with shades of browns, greens, and subtle hints of blue in the water. Closest to us, frogs and toads are depicted near the pond, with some in animated poses. Lizards and other reptiles are shown on the tree and ground close to us. In the distance, a small waterfall cascades down the rocks.
