The artwork presents a tranquil yet majestic scene of the natural world. The central focus is on a trio of towering mountain peaks, the Tetons, which are bathed in a golden light that enhances their grandeur. These mountains are framed by a lush forest, with tall, evergreen trees extending from the foreground to the midground. A serene body of water lies at the base of the mountains, reflecting the serene sky and creating a peaceful atmosphere. The sky above is depicted in soft pastels, transitioning from a gentle blue to warm hues, indicating either dawn or dusk.
