A dirt path curves from the lower-left foreground toward a break in the tree line, drawing the eye to rolling hills and a hazy mountain range along a low horizon. Dark, detailed foliage on the left and a slender stand of tall trees on the right give way to paler, softer forms in the distance, and a small still pond sits beside the path.

Soft, overcast light leaves no hard shadows, with a bright, glowing patch of cloud just left of center. The oil paint is handled in loose, feathery dabs for the foliage and smooth, blended strokes for the sky, under a matte, aged varnish. The effect is serene, quiet and gently melancholic.
