The image shows a viewpoint looking slightly down on a large rock formation with human figures nearby. The horizon is not visible, drawing attention to the rock and figures. The piece features fine and detailed brushstrokes, creating a textured appearance in the landscape and rock. The color scheme is monochromatic in black ink, accentuating light and shadow contrast. Two goats are resting in the foreground, with two human figures on the right - one standing and the other reclining. Faintly illustrated birds can be seen in the light sky above.
