Summary:
Landscape depicting a view across a river, its banks lined with scruffy foliage just beginning to turn autumn shades of orange and red, and the setting sun glowing in the distance as it slips toward the horizon, casting a golden ray of light across the river. In the middle ground, on the far side of the river, a small group of figures can be seen trekking through the tall underbrush toward a rocky hillside on the left.
