The painting depicts a serene forest scene, with a pool of water in the foreground. The trees are reflected in the calm water, creating a sense of symmetry. The sky above is a soft, hazy grey, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. In the background, the trees are densely packed, with some appearing to lean in towards the pool. The overall effect is one of tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the forest. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Théophile de Bock, who was known for his landscapes.
