The image depicts an expansive outdoor landscape scene captured at either sunrise or sunset, situated within the agricultural environs of Erstein, France. The sky, occupying the upper two-thirds of the frame, transitions from a pale blue-grey at the zenith to an intense band of orange and red light along the horizon. Wispy, streaky clouds, colored in shades of grey, white, pink, and orange, are visible across the middle portion of the sky. Along the distant horizon, several features are visible in silhouette. To the left, indistinct structures suggestive of a town or industrial area are present. Centrally, a prominent industrial complex, consistent with the Erstein Sugar Factory, features multiple tall structures from which white plumes of smoke or steam are ascending. Further to the right, a range of low-lying mountains forms a continuous dark silhouette. On the far right, a tall, slender mast or tower is discernible, with a small blue light emitting from its upper section. The foreground, comprising the lower third of the image, consists of a flat, dark brown, tilled agricultural field. The ground appears uneven, with visible clods of earth. Scattered dry, predominantly brown and dark yellow leaves are present on the field, particularly along the bottom edge of the frame. A narrow strip of darker ground with minimal green vegetation is visible along the extreme bottom left edge. No human figures or active subjects are observed within the frame.
