This landscape of fallow fields and distant water is done in pastels on paper. It emphasizes the way sunlight bleaches the sky in the upper left corner and gradually illuminates the sky, water, and land. On the right side of the painting, the sky is bluer than the bleached yellow-white seen on the left side but the blue is streaked with diagonal slashes of white and black. There is a strong horizon line bisecting the work made from indistinct mixing of blue, black, and brown pastels. The haze makes the far shore feel distant. The artist also uses the same colors in the sky, white, pink, yellow, and blue, to show light reflecting off a horizontal band of water just below the horizon and in an irregularly shaped bay on the left side. In the center of the work a hill juts up, cutting the body of water into left and right sides. A low set of buildings rests on the top of that dark, shadowy hill. In the foreground, unpopulated fields and a low, bare hill are formed from back and forth, sweeping horizontal gestures in a variety of tones of green, brown, and yellow.
