The view is taken from a low rise, looking down a curving farm track that leads from the foreground up toward a wooded ridge. The eye follows the track past rows of upright sheaves standing along it, then out to the trees and, beyond them, a pale expanse — likely the water of Semsvannet. In the near corner, at lower left, a child in a round hat sits in the grass, bent over a stick he is whittling with a knife, and holds the foreground while the landscape opens out to the right. The whole image is softly rendered, warm in tone and moderate in contrast, the pale water set behind the darker line of the woods. The seated child is Per Christoffersen, the photographer’s son.
