The image depicts a rural landscape near the city of Hœrdt, France, during either sunrise or sunset. The sky, occupying approximately two-thirds of the frame, is characterized by extensive cloud cover ranging from dark gray to bright white and golden-yellow where sunlight penetrates. A strong sun glare emanates from just above the distant horizon, slightly left of the image center, casting golden light across the lower clouds. In the foreground, a large agricultural field of dark, tilled soil occupies the bottom third of the frame. The soil appears freshly plowed, with visible clumps and stubble. Along the right edge of the field, a narrow, unpaved dirt or gravel path extends into the distance. The midground features a silhouette of trees and distant buildings, identifying the city of Hœrdt. A prominent, dark church steeple stands out against the bright horizon, positioned roughly in the center of the town's outline. Several residential structures with visible roofs are scattered throughout the distant cityscape. To the far left, a tall, slender, deciduous tree is silhouetted against the sky. To the far right, a cluster of coniferous trees is visible. No individuals, animals, or specific activities are observable within the frame.
