DescriptionThe image is a landscape, and depicts one predominating tree in the left foreground and two smaller trees to the right of it. The foreground is colored orange and green; there is a light green strip of land behind the trees and blue-ish mountains in the distance. The large tree splits into three main branches, which shoot out to cover a majority of the left of the painting. The trunk is dark brown and patches of sky appear through the breaks in the leaves. Behind this large tree, there is a grouping of green grasses and bushes at the left of the image. The smaller tree closest to the right edge of the work has three slender shoots and green leaves; the smaller tree that is closer to the center of the image has two slender, brown shoots and brown leaves. The sky is light blue with white, evenly spread clouds. On View
