Detailed Description
A painting depicts a wooded landscape under a blue sky with scattered white clouds. Tall, dense green trees with leafy canopies line both sides of a brown dirt road that occupies the lower half of the image. The road forks in the mid-ground; one path ascends gently to the left, while the other continues relatively straight and slightly downhill to the right. On the uphill path to the left, two figures walk away from the viewer: an adult in dark clothing and a smaller figure, possibly a child, wearing a red dress. On the path to the right, closer to the foreground, a single figure walks away, dressed in a dark blue garment with a white bonnet and carrying a dark object in their left arm. Sunlight filters through the tree canopy, creating patches of light and shadow on the dusty road.
