An oil painting depicts a mountain landscape bisected horizontally. The lower half features a textured field of ochre, brown, and green brushstrokes, with a dark silhouette of trees sloping from the left. Above, a range of snow-capped mountains in bright white and pale blue stretches across the horizon, with one sharp peak rising toward the center. A clear, light blue sky fills the upper third, casting the scene in bright, cool light.
