The wood is coloured in greys (blue-grey, violet-grey, and tan-grey, with an underpainting of brown). Three windblown evergreen trees stand just beyond the roots. In the middleground are light green hills. Across the background are sketched the silhouettes of light blue-grey mountains. The sky is light blue with light tan clouds. A streak of grey paint mars the sky near the upper right corner.
