This painting shows a single big tree with thick branches and lots of green leaves in the front. Behind it, a row of similar trees stretches into the distance, all under a soft, pale sky. The grass is light green, and the whole scene looks calm and peaceful, with no people or movement. The artist focused on how light filters through the leaves, making some spots brighter. The tree in the front has a rough trunk with a small round hole in it. Want to see more? Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
