A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a landscape dominated by a central cluster of towering trees with dense green foliage. In the sun-dappled foreground clearing, two figures and a white dog rest near large gray boulders; a man in a red vest stands holding an axe. To the right, rolling hills and a river stretch toward hazy blue mountains. A pale, clouded sky fills the upper half, casting light over the grassy valley.
