The image shows a row of stylized olive trees with twisting trunks on gently sloping land, bordered by paths or terraces. The horizon reveals a coastal scene with a subtle turquoise sea merging with the sky. Simple buildings are scattered among the trees and terraces. The brushstrokes are smooth and fluid, with limited detailing, giving the scene an abstract, graphic quality. The color palette is earthy, with shades of olive green, muted brown, and pale beige, along with calm blues in the distance.
