A landscape painting showing bare trees, houses, and rolling hills under a light sky
Detailed Description
A landscape rendered in shades of black and gray on a light background depicts a hilly terrain. On the far left, a larger, rectangular building with a cross-like mark on its front wall stands next to a smaller, rounder building with a thatched roof. Behind these structures, a dense cluster of tall, leafless trees with intricate branches rises. The landscape slopes downwards into a central valley, where a long, light-colored fence runs horizontally. More leafless trees are scattered throughout this central area, and a small, open-sided structure with a peaked roof stands near the fence on the left. Above the valley, an object resembling a boat or raft with a lantern suspended from it appears in the sky. To the right, the terrain becomes more rugged, with steep, rocky mountains depicted with textured brushstrokes. A few small, dark structures are perched on a distant hill within these mountains.
