This painting depicts a landscape with a variety of trees set against a blue-grey sky. Different shades of green are used for the leaves of the trees, which are outlined in dark, reddish-brown. A tree in the center has blue-grey branches and dense, bright green foliage. A small white house is seen to the left. The ground is white with patches of reddish-brown and green-and-blue stripes by the bottom right corner. The brushstrokes in the painting are thick and visible.
