Detailed Description
A vertical landscape painting depicts a narrow stream winding through a dense, verdant forest. Tall trees with lush green and brown foliage frame the scene on both sides, creating a visual corridor that leads towards the center. The stream, reflecting patches of light sky and the surrounding trees, flows from the foreground into the midground. On the left bank of the stream, a dirt path is visible, partially obscured by undergrowth. In the midground, a light-colored building with a reddish-brown roof is nestled among the trees, slightly to the right of the stream. A small figure, dressed in a blue garment, stands on the right bank near the building. The overall color palette is dominated by various shades of green and brown, with lighter greens and blues appearing in the sky and water reflections, and a muted brown for the building.
