Artist, Italian, 1857 - 1927

The image shows a landscape with trees and a dirt path. A horse-drawn cart and a person are visible in the distance. The focus is on the trees, with slender branches reaching up. The brushstrokes give a sketch-like quality. The color palette is primarily gray and black. The ground texture transitions into a darker, denser wooded area in the distance.
