A low farmhouse sits at the center of the scene, its roof slanting gently beneath a sky that churns with swirling, darkened clouds. The building nestles among dense vegetation, with a cluster of trees rising close to its left side and rounded bushes stretching to the right. In the foreground, the earth undulates in thick, rhythmic bands, the brushwork sweeping diagonally from lower left to upper right, suggesting the movement of wind or the contours of ploughed fields.

The fields are rendered with energetic, almost turbulent lines, their texture built from short, curving strokes and dense hatching that create a sense of restless motion. Above, the sky dominates nearly half the composition, filled with bold, looping marks that evoke heavy, rolling clouds and shifting weather. Small, scattered trees dot the horizon, their silhouettes barely distinguishable against the undulating hills that rise behind the house.

The composition is tightly framed, with no open sky at the top, so that the swirling clouds press down upon the land, intensifying the sense of enclosure and drama. Every element in the scene is shaped by vigorous, expressive brushwork, from the rough textures of the earth to the billowing forms of the clouds. The upper right corner of the image is filled with heavy, swirling cloud forms that almost merge with the distant hills.

The lower left corner is dominated by deep, shadowy strokes that contrast with the lighter, textured bands of earth above them. The black-and-white reproduction emphasizes strong contrasts, with areas of dense, crosshatched lines creating depth and a tactile surface throughout the landscape. The work is reproduced here from an artbook, preserving the bold structure and dramatic contrasts characteristic of van Gogh's late landscapes.
