Detailed Description
The artwork depicts an outdoor scene featuring a tree-lined path alongside a body of water under a bright sky. A row of tall, slender trees with green foliage extends from the left foreground towards the right mid-ground. A path, in light shades of beige and pinkish-brown, runs parallel to the trees, showing dappled sunlight and shadow. To the left of the path, a wide expanse of blue-green water, likely a river or lake, stretches into the distance. On the far bank, a low-lying landmass with a multi-arched bridge and more trees is visible. Several small figures populate the path: two individuals walk in the mid-ground on the left, while further to the right, a horse-drawn cart with two occupants moves along. Other indistinct figures are scattered further down the path. The sky in the upper right is a light blue with soft white clouds. In the lower right foreground, a patch of green grass with yellow highlights slopes gently upwards, contrasting with the path. Visible brushstrokes throughout the image create a textured appearance.
