This painting depicts a landscape with rolling green hills viewed from an elevated perspective. Closest to us, the light green hills on the left are covered with yellowish grass. A dense forest of dark green trees is on the right at the bottom of the slopes. In the distance, towards the high horizon, the hills appear to flatten out, leading to a small white building with a red roof. The sky above is light blue with soft white clouds. The brushstrokes are soft.
