There is an image of a castle scene. The castle is off-center to the right, with towers and gabled roofs. The horizon is obscured by trees, giving depth. The illustration is detailed and monochromatic, with a limited color palette of black and brown. The ground shows swirling lines that could represent water or a path. The castle is surrounded by detailed trees. There are small figures near the castle. Birds are seen in the sky.
