A Wooded Path at Treslong, near Hillegom

Jurriaan Andriessen

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a dirt path winding into the distance under a lush green tree canopy. The horizon is low in the composition where the path disappears beyond a distant bridge, adding depth. The brushstrokes give a textured effect, enhancing the depiction of foliage. The dominant color is green, with hints of earth tones from the path and flecks of blue from the sky. A figure in a red coat and black hat leans against a tree on the right.
