A man, seen from behind, crosses a waterlogged rural track. He wears a long dark coat and a brimmed hat; his arms are extended outward, likely for balance on the uneven surface. Two deep wheel ruts run parallel along the left edge of the track, both filled with standing water. To the right, low vegetation borders an open water surface — canal, ditch, or pond. The background is compressed: birch trunks left, dense treeline centre, a pale open sky above. Upper left, a telegraphic or electrical pole structure is partially visible, its crossarm distinct against the diffuse upper tonal register.
The verso carries the inscription “Olaf Christoffersen / Kværner Brug / Kr. a.” — likely recording his professional affiliation with the Kristiania engineering works.
