The tree stands tall beside a central building, which appears to be a church. The buildings exhibit simplistic, elongated forms with classical architectural features. The brushstrokes are clean and expressive, creating a smooth texture. The color palette consists of muted blues and browns with white accents. A floral border surrounds the image, adding pink and soft linework.
