The image displays a landscape scene with an elevated viewpoint. The sea meets the sky on the horizon, with boats present. The artwork features detailed and linear brushstrokes outlining the landscape, trees, and vegetation. A tree shades a pathway where a figure on horseback and another person are seen near the water. Buildings are visible in the distance. The color scheme is monochrome, focusing on light and dark contrast.
