A sloping orange-red mountain with a single peak rises from the lower-left quadrant of the work, the peak cresting at upper right. The mountain’s base, speckled with trees, is green, while its peak, lined with white show, is mostly brown. A rich blue sky above the mountain is crowded with long, thin, fluffy clouds.
