Detailed trees are depicted in rows at the bottom of the image, with a clearing in the center where buildings with triangular roofs are surrounded by large trees. The rooftops are highlighted in red and earthy tones, contrasting with the predominant deep greens and browns. The brushstrokes are detailed, providing a textured appearance to the foliage, which is depicted with curling lines and stippled dots.
