The trees' leaves are bright yellow. The trees cast shadows towards the viewer coloured grey-green, ochre and orange-red. The grass about the trees and in the valley is a yellow-green with touches of ochre, orange-red and grey-green. In the middleground, to the left of centre, zigzags a river (whose banks are defined by lines of brown and white). A forest of dark brown and dark green surrounds the river on the left and from behind. The background is an undefined area of green, indicating the base of the mountains lining the valley.

Multi-coloured grasses (ochre, yellow-green, red-brown, dark brown), a group of dark evergreens (on the right), as well as, a solitary evergreen (on the left) are found on the hilltop. In the background is a wide valley with a large glacier. The glacier (coloured with white, grey, light blue and light brown) fills most of the lefthand side. The righthand side of the background contains a mass of dark grey and brown cliffs (with touches of grey-blue and ochre). Along the upper edge of the picture (above the glacier) are loose brushstrokes of blue, white, brown and blue-grey. These marks suggest distant cliffs among ice and clouds.

The vegetation in front of the lake, in the lower left and right corners, contains the same dark green, and light violet-grey found in the background. The violet-grey is used to indicate: the snow covering the dark violet-grey mountain on the right; the rock forming the more distant peak on the left; and a lighter tint of this colour forms the clouds in the upper left corner. A separate area of blue-grey clouds occupies the upper right corner.

The larger one on the right is coloured in grays: violet-grey, dark blue-grey and green-grey. A large cloud sits above the mountain, hiding its summit. The smaller mountain on the left is a medium blue-grey. A second cloud floats in front of this mountain, though the summit is visible above the cloud. In the left foreground a tall tree frames the picture. Some grey stokes indicate dead branches about the base of the tree. The lake in the middleground has the reflection of the larger mountain, in slightly lighter tones than those found on the mountain. The upper part of the reflection is indicated with small vertical strokes, while horizontal strokes are found in the lower section.
