The painting depicts a serene rural landscape. At the centre of the composition is a green hill covered with grass, featuring an uneven summit adorned with bushes and trees. On the slopes of the hill, one can see patches of land in various shades — ploughed or sown fields. In the foreground, there is a dense strip of shrubs and trees, rendered with rich dark‑green, brown, and yellowish brushstrokes. This strip creates a sense of depth and separates the viewer from the main landscape. The sky occupies the upper part of the painting and is executed in soft blue and lilac tones, without distinct clouds — it evokes a calm, slightly cool atmosphere. The colour palette is predominantly green, with accents of brown, yellow, and purple, which emphasise the naturalness and vibrancy of the landscape. The overall mood of the work is peaceful, with an emphasis on the harmony of nature and the simplicity of the rural scenery.
