The artwork features a rural scene with two figures walking along a path. The horizon is low, showing a detailed tree line and a distant church with a spire. Trees of different heights and densities create a barrier before the structures. The linework style is detailed with cross-hatchings and parallel lines. The monochromatic palette uses various shades for contrast. The sky is lightly detailed with cloud shapes, and small birds fly in the distance.
