The painting depicts a serene landscape, with a large tree standing prominently in the center. The tree's branches stretch out towards the sky, while its roots dig deep into the earth. In the foreground, a grassy field stretches out, dotted with wildflowers and other vegetation. The painting is characterized by its use of muted colors, with shades of green, brown, and gray dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. The painting is held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
