It is a tonally painted image with the background being a river next to a desert scene with palm trees and mountains in the distance. The branch of pods and leaves are in the direct foreground. The composition is much in the same tradition as early botanical artists created, with a distant landscape in the background and the botanical subjects held very close in front.
