A horizontally oriented oil painting with hazy, dappled brushstrokes of brown, green, and gold depicts a woodland. Thick tree trunks frame the composition, extending vertically towards a dark canopy. In the center, a narrow, dark stream winds from a bright clearing toward the foreground. Patches of yellow and orange foliage glow against the earthy banks. The background shows dense trees beneath a pale sky, with luminous highlights throughout the landscape.
