A horizontal print in monochromatic brown ink on beige paper depicts a pastoral landscape with a wooden bridge spanning a stream. In the lower left, figures rest on a grassy bank near a small cottage. Several cows gather beneath the bridge, some wading in the water. On the right, dense, leafy trees rendered with delicate lines and soft tonal shading dominate the composition, their branches arching beneath a cloudy, hazy sky.
