Detailed Description
A wide, open landscape is depicted under a pale sky. The upper half of the scene is dominated by the sky, which transitions from a light blue at the top to a pale yellow and orange hue closer to the horizon. Two small, dark bird silhouettes are visible in the upper left sky. A low, dark mountain range stretches across the distant horizon, separating the sky from the expansive marshland below. The midground features a vast, flat area of brown and tan grasses interspersed with numerous reflective pools of light blue water. In the foreground, a dark brown bank runs along the bottom, with sparse, bare branches and small, dark bushes on the left. On the right side of the foreground, a man in dark clothing, wearing a hat and carrying a rifle over his shoulder, walks towards the right. Beside him, a white, brown, and black dog with its head down walks in the same direction. Two dark wooden posts are visible to the right of the dog.
