A black dog, viewed from the rear, walks along a muddy, leaf-strewn path in a dense, deciduous woodland. The trees are bare, suggesting winter or early spring, with some trunks and branches covered in green moss. To the left, a dark, murky pond or stream is visible, its edges lined with mossy ground. The ground is largely covered in fallen brown leaves. The sky is overcast and light grey. The scene is located in Wealden, United Kingdom.
