A pointillist landscape with a tall tree, rolling hills, and a small figure on a path.
Detailed Description
A landscape rendered in small, distinct dots of color depicts a hilly scene. A tall, slender tree with a reddish-brown trunk and dark green foliage stands slightly left of center in the foreground, its branches extending across the top of the canvas. To its left, a smaller, lighter green tree is visible, and dense green and purple bushes fill the lower left corner. The midground features rolling hills covered in a mosaic of yellow, green, and purple dots. A darker blue and purple area curves through the midground, possibly indicating a shadowed valley or body of water. In the background, lighter yellow and orange hills rise under a pale blue and white sky. In the lower right, a small figure, dressed in a long, light-colored garment, walks along a path. The ground in the foreground and path area is a mix of green, yellow, and pink dots. The overall palette is dominated by greens, yellows, blues, and purples.
