The image shows a perspective view of a wooded path. Visibility of the horizon is hindered by dense trees. The brushstrokes are sketch-like with expressive lines creating movement and texture. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of black and grey on light-colored paper. The ground has hatchings indicating light patches. A wooden bench is slightly off-center to the right. In the background, trees densely populate the landscape.
