Hilly landscape with a village and church on a central hill under a pale sky
Detailed Description
A wide, horizontal landscape depicts a large, rolling hill rising from the left and extending across the center. Its slopes show a mosaic of green fields and darker brown, exposed earth, with a light-colored path winding upwards on the left. At the crest of this central hill, a cluster of buildings with reddish-brown roofs and light-colored walls is visible. The most prominent structure is a church featuring two distinct, pointed spires. To the right of the central hill, a small village spreads across the midground and right side. This area contains numerous buildings with reddish-brown roofs and light-colored facades, nestled amongst scattered green trees. In the immediate foreground on the right, several small trees with dark trunks and rounded green canopies stand in a vibrant green field. The sky above is a uniform pale blue-gray. In the bottom right corner, dark text reads "VEVE" above "Colmar".
