Figures on a grassy riverbank with green trees and a light sky, made of small dots
Detailed Description
A riverside landscape is composed of small, distinct dots of color. A wide river occupies the middle ground, stretching horizontally across the canvas with blue and green hues, reflecting a light, mottled sky above. The sky, visible in the upper portion, is composed of light grays and whites. A grassy bank, predominantly green with patches of yellow and brown, extends from the foreground along the river's edge. Numerous trees with dense green foliage cast shadows over the bank, their trunks appearing as vertical brown lines. On the far left, a dark, standing figure faces the river, with a second dark, seated figure positioned slightly to their right. Further into the midground, another dark, seated figure is visible near the center of the bank. Towards the right, a standing figure with a dark, elongated form is situated closer to the river. In the far right foreground, a fifth dark figure is seated, partially obscured by darker green foliage. The overall scene is bathed in a soft, diffused light.
