Print shows a sweeping perspective view of a wide expanse of land and water rendered in pastel shades of yellow, green, and blue, the land cutting paths between pools. Figures work along these paths, beneath straw-roofed structures, and in fields. A lone snowy mountain rises in the distance, and clouds encroach upon the scene from the right.
