The artwork, currently housed at the Städel Museum, depicts a picturesque scene of a river winding through a lush forest, with a distant view of rolling hills and a cloudy sky. The careful attention to detail in the trees, water, and distant landscape highlights Schirmer's masterful use of light and shadow, which creates a sense of depth and atmosphere.
