Brief Description
A forest scene with tall, bare trees, green mossy ground, and scattered yellow flowers
Detailed Description
A forest scene is dominated by tall, slender trees with bare branches reaching towards a light blue sky. The sky, visible in the upper half of the image, shows hints of lighter clouds. Many of the tree trunks are dark brown or grey, and several on the left side are heavily covered in dark green ivy that climbs upwards. Some trees in the background appear lighter and more indistinct, creating a sense of depth. The ground in the lower half of the image is a vibrant green, covered in grass and patches of moss. Several large, moss-covered rocks are scattered across the foreground and midground, forming undulating mounds. A narrow, dark path winds from the lower center towards the upper right, disappearing into the trees. Numerous small, pale yellow flowers with delicate petals are scattered across the green ground, particularly in the foreground and along the path.
