In the foreground, there's a small stream with some birds flying over it. On the right side, there are two men standing near a dog, and another man is walking towards them. The background shows a city or town in the distance, with some buildings and towers visible. The painting has a lot of detail and texture, with the rocks and trees looking very realistic.
