The painting depicts a landscape with a mountain range in the distance, set against a yellow sky. In the foreground, a fire burns, emitting smoke and flames that rise into the air. The scene is rendered in warm tones, with the fire and smoke dominating the left side of the composition. The mountain range stretches across the background, its peaks shrouded in mist. This painting showcases the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume.
