This painting shows a quiet path lined with tall, leafy trees. The trunks are thick and gnarled, casting shadows on the ground. A few people walk in the distance, their figures small under the canopy. The scene looks peaceful, with light filtering through the branches. The artist used soft shading to make the trees look three-dimensional. The dark bark and lighter leaves create a sense of depth. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this technique works.
