This painting shows a landscape with a pale-blue body of water in the center. Gentle waves are visible on its surface. In the background, pale purple mountains are faintly visible on the horizon, with a sky of pastel blue and lavender hues above scattered with wispy white clouds. Closer to us, trees and hills in shades of gold, green, and brown lead down towards the water.
