The figures have their backs to us – a man fishing in the river, a shepherd and his little boy wandering up the meandering path on the left, and a horseman and his companion crossing the flimsy bridge over the yawning chasm on the right. Seen almost in silhouette to add to the air of mystery, they are dwarfed by the landscape, like actors on an enormous stage under a turbulent sky.
