In the artwork, the vast sky, rendered in soft hues of blue and white, dominates the upper half of the canvas, providing an airy and expansive atmosphere. Below, an expansive meadow stretches across the foreground, covered in a variety of greens and soft yellows, suggesting the gentle sway of grasses in a light breeze. Distant hills and a scattering of buildings on the horizon anchor the scene, leading the viewer’s eye towards the center.
