A lone-house settlement in the Himalayan foothills of India. The far upper range is clearly visible from these reaches, especially the pristine snow-laden beauty of Mount Everest. Beyond those, a stretch of thick, colloidal fog. Through the horizontal midline of the canvas is the lower range of the Himalayas, at the foot of which is a two-storey thatch-roofed farmhouse. A stoopa in what seems to be the frontyard, and an outhouse slightly farther away.
The woman of the house treads the long path homewards with a basket of produce on her back. Her wild donkey grazes just outside, awaiting her. In the distance is a rope bridge. Two backpackers are traversing it with wonder and awe of the Himalayas in their hearts. In the valley below, a winding river; another cloud of mist in the distance. Verdant plantations and stately conifers predomiante the other half of the foreground.
