The foreground is predominant in this sketch, with dabs of bright red vegetation in the lower right quarter of the picture. Three groupings of trees, placed along a line in the upper half of the sketch, frame and divide the background into two sections. The left background section contains a peak with sunlight illuminating it from the left-hand side. The right background section contains a large white cloud, and a small triangular peak partially hidden by the grasses growing in the foreground.
