Detailed Description
A sunlit field is bordered by trees under a clear blue sky. The top third of the canvas is dominated by a light blue sky with scattered small, wispy white clouds. Below the sky, a distant, undulating line of dark green hills or forest stretches across the horizon. In the midground, a line of lighter green bushes and smaller trees runs horizontally, with several taller, slender trees rising above them. One particularly tall, narrow tree with a large, rounded, dark green top stands prominently on the far right. The left quarter of the painting is filled with a dense mass of dark green trees, extending from the top edge down into the midground and casting shadows into the field. The bottom half of the canvas is occupied by a field of light golden-brown and pale green grass or wheat, rendered with visible, textured brushstrokes. Patches of darker green grass and shadows are visible within the field, especially towards the left.
