Detailed Description
A horizontal landscape scene depicts a row of trees under a light blue sky. The sky, occupying the top third, features scattered white and light gray clouds, with patches of clear blue visible. Below the sky, a line of trees stretches across the middle ground, forming an orchard. Several trees on the left and center are covered in abundant white or very light pink blossoms, with dark, gnarled branches visible beneath the flowers. To the right, the trees have dense, dark green foliage. The trees cast deep shadows on the ground beneath them. The foreground features a vibrant green grassy field, with variations in shade from bright green to darker, shadowed patches. Some lighter green and white plant clusters are visible in the immediate foreground. On the far left, under the blooming trees, a light-colored animal, possibly a goat or sheep, grazes. Further to the right, deeper within the shadows cast by the trees, a few indistinct, dark figures are visible, possibly people or other animals, blending into the dark undergrowth.
