The image shows a pastoral scene with a slightly elevated perspective. There are hills, trees, an old building with archways and a spire, and animals, likely goats. The style is reminiscent of a block print with bold shapes and smooth brushstrokes. The main colors are deep blues, earthy reds, dark green, and white.
