Long willow branches sweep down from the upper right, painted in loose, feathery strokes of sage and grey-green. Beyond them a calm lake reflects a hazy sky, and a row of slim poplars dissolves into the mist on the far shore.

Small wildflowers in pink, cream and lilac crowd the foreground. The paint looks soft and layered, and the whole scene stays quiet and dreamy, with the pastel light of an impressionist morning.
