This painting shows a wide, open field with tall grass and scattered trees. The sky above is bright, with fluffy white clouds and patches of blue. The trees are dark and stand in a line, leading your eye toward distant hills. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, making the scene feel fresh and natural. The colors are soft—greens, blues, and light grays—without harsh edges. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see this painting in person.
