Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a forest scene. The forest contains numerous trees with thin trunks and green leaves. The trees vary in height and are spaced at different intervals. The ground is covered with grass and features several large rocks and boulders. A small stream or puddle of water is visible in the foreground. A person and a dog are standing on the left side of the image, near the trees. The person is wearing a hat and a long dress. The dog is small and white with black spots. The sky is visible through the trees and appears to be overcast. The overall atmosphere suggests a daytime setting with diffused light. The title of the painting is "A Summer Afternoon" by R. Way Smith.
