Brief Description
A wide landscape with a cloudy sky, large trees, a figure, and cattle in a grassy field
Detailed Description
The top half of the image shows a vast sky filled with large clouds. These clouds are primarily white and various shades of gray, with visible brushstrokes creating a textured appearance. Patches of bright blue sky are visible between the cloud formations, particularly towards the upper left and right. Below the sky, a dense line of dark green trees stretches across the middle ground. A prominent cluster of tall, leafy trees rises slightly right of the center, featuring lighter, almost white trunks and dark canopies that form an arch-like opening. More distant trees form a darker, lower horizon line across the entire width of the image. The lower half of the image depicts a grassy field, rendered in various shades of green and brown, with scattered patches of lighter green and small white flowers. Several cattle are dispersed across this field. In the lower left, a reddish-brown cow lies down, while others, including white, brown, and mottled cows, stand or graze further back. A figure, dressed in light-colored clothing, possibly a white head covering and apron, kneels or bends in the center-left, near some dark, round objects that resemble baskets or pots. A small, dark, dog-like animal is positioned near the figure. Another dark cow lies in the lower right.
