Detailed Description
A wide landscape painting depicts a city park scene under a cloudy sky. The upper third of the canvas is filled with a light blue and gray sky, streaked with white clouds. On the horizon, a distant city skyline is visible, dominated by a large cathedral with two prominent spires. Below the city, a dense band of bare trees, rendered in dark grays and browns, stretches across the midground. The foreground is occupied by a sprawling park. On the left, a wide, light brown path curves through the park, densely populated with numerous small figures. These figures appear as people dressed in dark clothing and extend into the middle distance along the path. The central and right portions of the foreground feature large sections of green grass, some lighter and some darker, arranged in geometric patterns. Scattered throughout the park, particularly on the right, are several bare trees with visible branches, their dark forms partially obscuring the view of the park beyond. More small figures are visible on paths and within the grassy areas.
