Houses dot the base of the hill and extend to the right and left of it. A church is seen in the foreground on the right; a man on horseback rides in the center foreground, and a carriage pulled by four horses follows behind him on the left. Mountains are visible in the far distance; blue-gray clouds fill the sky above
