A winding road enters the scene from the base of the canvas in the center. It curves to the right before weaving off into the distance to the left. A large mesa rises from the right side of the work, its hills sloping down towards the left. Several trees dot the landscape in the foreground. The sky is lighter near the horizon and darker farther away from it. In the center of the work, a large cross from which light emanates is suspended in front of the scene.
