The work that is presented shows a colorful landscape of purely impressionist mood. The intense green color predominating in the whole panel is joined by a clear sky, made from colored spots that give the sensation of warmth and tranquility. The wide perspective allows us to capture the treetops almost in their entirety. Grazing animals can be seen in the soft grass of the countryside. The author does not seek a specific scenography, nor does he seek to capture a lyrical image; he only captures the essence of what he sees, reflecting the myriad of tones, lights, details and volumes that make up the space.
