- Description
- View of a row of seven trees in the foreground with a valley beyond. The base of seven thin trees can be seen with dark brown bark becoming ochre-coloured near the trees' lower branches. The trees' leaves are bright yellow. The trees cast shadows towards the viewer coloured grey-green, ochre and orange-red. The grass about the trees and in the valley is a yellow-green with touches of ochre, orange-red and grey-green. In the middleground, to the left of centre, zigzags a river (whose banks are defined by lines of brown and white). A forest of dark brown and dark green surrounds the river on the left and from behind. The background is an undefined area of green, indicating the base of the mountains lining the valley.
