The image shows a landscape with a river winding through it, hills in the distance, a horizon midway up the image, and a sky meeting the terrain. The artwork is composed of fine lines creating texture and depth. Closest to us are round shapes resembling bundles or sacks and a stick or staff. Further away, figures are by the river. The scene transitions from dark grass to lighter marks toward the sky, forming a monochromatic color palette.
