Three pollarded trees with bare, wiry branches stand on the left bank, the nearest tree leaning slightly and showing a textured trunk, while two distant stubbier trees appear further back toward the horizon. A bright circular light source sits low in the sky near the center, surrounded by radiating shading. A flock of small birds is depicted in flight toward the right, forming scattered, dark silhouettes against the sky. The distant horizon shows low, textured land and a small moundy rise on the right, and the entire scene is rendered with fine, linear hatching and cross-hatching strokes.
