The image displays a rural landscape near Hœrdt, France, at sunset. The sky, occupying the upper two-thirds of the frame, is layered with clouds. The uppermost clouds are dark grey, while mid-level clouds exhibit streaks of grey, orange, and gold, illuminated by the setting sun. The sun is positioned on the horizon, slightly left of center, partially obscured by a silhouetted tree, and emits a strong golden light ray extending diagonally downwards across the lower half of the image. A line of dark trees forms the horizon. The foreground consists of dark green fields, devoid of specific features or individuals. On the far right, a distinct church spire is visible in silhouette against the illuminated sky, rising above the treeline. No people or overt actions are depicted.
