Brief Description
A wide path, green fields, trees, and a village with a church under a gray sky
Detailed Description
A wide, horizontal landscape is depicted under an overcast, light gray sky. In the background, a line of dark green trees and bushes stretches across the horizon. Behind these trees, a small village is visible. On the far left, a prominent white building with a tall, dark, pointed steeple stands out, characteristic of a church. Other buildings in the village are less distinct, appearing as light-colored or reddish forms nestled among the trees. The midground is dominated by an expansive field of green and yellow-green, rendered with visible, textured brushstrokes. The field shows subtle horizontal bands of varying shades of green. Several slender trees with dark green, rounded foliage are scattered across this field, particularly on the right side, with one taller tree near the center. The foreground features a wide, light brown or tan path or uncultivated field, also painted with textured brushstrokes. In the bottom right corner of this foreground area, a few small yellow flowers are visible.
