A low horizon sits about a third of the way up this wide autumn scene, leaving room for a hazy, overcast sky. A dense tree line of dark silhouetted evergreens and golden-rust shrubs fills the middle ground edge to edge, with a few tall, sparse-leaved birch trunks rising above it and faint hills dissolving into the mist behind.

In the foreground, a soft meadow of tall grass is dotted with small white blossoms and scattered wild mushrooms. Diffused daylight casts no harsh shadows, and loose, blended oil brushwork over visible canvas grain gives the whole scene a quiet, nostalgic, matte finish.
