This picture with good reason can be called allegorical. Two people stand on a stony path and peer into the distance. Beside them – a large boulder and a spruce.
The moon is placed in the center of the composition and separates the “living” half of the picture with a boulder and a green spruce from the “dead” with a dead tree.
