Description:

Oil landscape painting on canvas illustrating a tree and a bush growing beside a clump of tall grasses on the slope of a hill. The shadow created by the tree and bush are conveyed by an underlayer of purple and red paint, with which the entire canvas was likely painted before starting. Thus the shaded areas are an absence of yellow and green hues applied with a zigzag stroke to convey the grasses.
