In the painting, a tree stands on the left side, its branches stretching up and out. The tree's trunk is thin, and its leaves are a vibrant green. In the background, there are rocky hills with trees and bushes growing on them. The sky above is a clear blue. The painting is done in a style that emphasizes bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. The artist has used a range of greens to depict the foliage, from light yellow-green to deep forest green. The rocky hills are painted in shades of brown and gray, with touches of green where the trees and bushes grow. This painting is by Paul Cézanne, a French artist known for his landscapes and still lifes.
