Detailed Description
A vast landscape is depicted under a sky filled with numerous white and grey clouds, some appearing dark and heavy, others bright and fluffy. The upper half of the canvas shows a light blue sky. In the foreground, to the left, a cluster of tall, leafy green trees stands beside a winding dirt path that descends a grassy slope. On this path, two small figures in red and blue attire stand near the top of the slope. Further down the path, a person on a white horse is visible, and another figure sits on the ground nearby. Several white sheep graze on the green and brown slope. To the right of the path, a wide river flows from the middle distance towards the right foreground, its surface reflecting the sky in muted tones. A small boat with a blue flag is visible on the river in the mid-right. The midground features a broad, flat plain stretching across the canvas, characterized by a patchwork of green fields, scattered trees, and distant buildings. Low, undulating hills form the horizon line in the far background, appearing as a muted brown-green band beneath the cloudy sky.
