The image shows a landscape drawn from a slightly elevated point of view. The horizon is positioned in the upper third of the image, with mountain ranges depicted with light pencil lines. Closest to us, there is textured foliage and shrubbery created with darker shading and strokes. A small village is visible with a spire among the buildings. The style of the brushstrokes is soft and methodical, with cross-hatching and shading for depth. The image is in shades of brown and gray.
