This is a painting of parachutes descending over a landscape. The sky is a gradient of blues, and is populated by multiple airplanes releasing parachutists who are descending with large, open parachutes. The parachutes are depicted in shades of white and gray. Below, the ground shows a landscape of gently rolling hills in shades of green and yellow, with a few structures or small buildings visible. The style is reminiscent of wartime propaganda pieces from the mid-20th century. This is in style of Vera Rockline.
