The image shows tall trees on the left side reaching towards a cloud-filled sky. The horizon is located in the upper third. In the distance, a line of trees and a structure resembling a staircase or embankment are visible. Small figures are on the steps. The brushwork appears detailed and precise, likely etching. The color palette is monochromatic, using black and white shades.
