The landscape presents various structures and surrounding natural scenery from a slightly elevated angle. The horizon is in the upper third against a sky filled with swirling clouds. Below is an ancient structure near the center-right. Two figures are on a path near the water's edge in the foreground. To the left are lower buildings extending into the distance, leading to a mountainous area. A small river or stream meanders through the landscape. The technique shows dense, precise line work giving texture to the clouds and trees. The color palette is monochrome with shades of grey, black, and white, typical of ink-based art in this style.
