Artist

The image shows an elevated viewpoint of a landscape with colorful houses, trees, and figures. The scene is depicted in a simplistic style with flat colors and defined brushstrokes typical of folk art. The color palette includes earthy greens for the hills and pastel colors for the houses against a deep blue sky. In the foreground, there are two women seated by a waterway, another woman holding a flowering branch, and a child beside her. Trees in the upper right corner frame the scene.
