View from a high point looking across a flat landscape, which is predominantly in browns and greens, towards the hills in the distance. A path winds round from the right foreground, away from the viewer, with several travellers walking in either direction. Just beyond the foreground, a section of the land is covered by the shadow of a passing cloud, contrasting with a meadow in the middleground, which is lit by a beam of sunlight. A light grey sky is overhead, and takes up more than half of the painting.
