Long Hill's grassy slope gently descends from the foreground to the background with two trees and a bale of hay in the middle distance at center right. At left, a grove of trees is loosely rendered. In the background at right, a red barn is shown in front of the short, dual-lobed Blue Hill. The base of a rainbow's arch springs out of the terrain beside the barn at right.
