Detailed Description
The painting depicts a sunlit field with two large haystacks, green trees, and a figure. The upper portion of the canvas features a pale blue sky with scattered white clouds. Below the sky, a dense canopy of green trees fills the upper right and extends across the upper left. The trees display varying shades of green, with lighter areas appearing on the leaves. Several tall, slender tree trunks are visible, particularly on the right side. In the middle ground, slightly to the left of center, are two large, conical haystacks. They are rendered in golden-brown and ochre tones, with visible textured brushstrokes. The haystack on the left is larger than the one behind it to the right. The foreground and middle ground are covered by a green field, painted with loose, visible brushstrokes. Patches of lighter green, yellow-green, and hints of purple and reddish-brown are interspersed throughout the grass. A small, dark-clad figure is visible in the middle right, walking away from the viewer. The figure appears to be carrying an object on their back or shoulder and is partially obscured by shadows from the trees.
