Here the artist devotes all his attention to the landscape, and the presence of man and animals is only slightly indicated.
Before us is a winding road that runs down the slope somewhere down. To the left is the old forest. Ahead – a hilly panorama and the sky – with swirling clouds, with gathering clouds – it will soon rain. On the right is a tiny rivulet.
On the hill, a tired boy, lay down to rest, maybe a snack, and next to him, as always, a dog. On the way a cow leaves. The landscape evokes a sense of peace, tranquility.
