Description

A winding road runs across the lower foreground beside a low embankment and a lone tree with two trunks on a grassy rise. Snow-dusted mountains rise under cloud in the background, and a small cluster of white buildings sits among tall, bare-trunked trees on the slopes to the right. The print is mounted on a page with a printed text box in the lower right corner.
