Trees on a grassy slope overlooking a lake, with a crucifix and multiple figures
Detailed Description
A wide body of water appears under a light blue sky with faint clouds. The foreground features a grassy slope, illuminated by sunlight on the right and shaded by trees on the left. On the left side of the slope, two figures are visible: one lies on their back, and another sits upright, both dressed in dark clothing. A dense line of tall, slender trees with brown trunks and green foliage extends from the left edge towards the center, casting long shadows across the grass. On the right side of the slope, a prominent wooden crucifix stands with a human figure affixed to it. A group of approximately five figures is gathered around its base; some are kneeling, while others stand. Their attire includes white bonnets and red cloaks. A single tall tree with sparse foliage stands to the left of the crucifix. In the mid-distance, the calm, light blue-grey water shows several small boats. A low, dark landmass stretches across the horizon in the far background.
