The scene is a view of a small stream meandering through a lush, green, wooded area. The foreground is filled with tall grass and various leafy bushes. A large tangle of dead branches and roots lies on the ground in the lower left. A thin, leafless sapling stands to the right of the frame. The stream is visible in the middle ground, reflecting the overcast sky. Dense trees line both sides of the stream, creating a canopy overhead. The overall impression is of a serene, natural environment.
