Description

Dark pine branches fill the foreground on the right and along the bottom edge, while a pale, hazy sky occupies the upper centre. Below, a broad flat plain stretches toward the horizon, with a cluster of buildings on rising ground in the middle distance and fields or scrub across the lowland. A rocky outcrop appears at the lower left edge.

English
