The painting features a large tree with a thick, gnarled trunk and bare branches on the left side, situated on a hillside. The tree's roots are visible above ground, and its branches extend upwards and outwards. In the background, a stone bridge with arches spans a body of water, and a building with a tiled roof is visible on the right side. The sky above appears hazy and light-colored. The overall color palette of the painting is muted, with shades of brown and beige dominating the scene. The painting's style is characterized by detailed, realistic depictions of natural and man-made elements.
