Mountain scene with dominant foreground. The bottom 1/3 of the piece is a rocky ground with pine trees starting at the right side and following the rocky ground to the mountain range in the background.

The colours in this piece are mainly yellows, browns, greens, and a little blue. The sky is yellow in colour.
