A print of a vast landscape with two intertwined gnarled trees in the foreground and two figures seated below.

A print of a vast natural landscape. Two gnarled trunked trees intertwine in the foreground with their lush foliage mirroring the billowing clouds in the sky above. Two figures sit in the shade of the trees looking left, off into the distance. Beyond a makeshift fence a cliff juts up on the right. In the center a basin of rolling fields and trees give way to a mountain on the horizon in the distance. Amid the tilled fields, trees and shrubs intermingle. A body of water lies below the distant mountain and beyond the furthest field.
