| Description: | A solitary figure strolls down a rutted brown road with trees standing to the top of the painting on the right, slightly farther and not so high on the left. Felled logs line the road, surrounded with white wildflowers. In the distance beyond the figure a stream winds back and forth, beyond that is a meadow seen dimly through the haze, then a lake, and finally the grey profile of a mountain. The sky is blue with wisps of white clouds. (From a color photograph.) |
| Note: | See the list of forest path paintings for several other works of similar composition. |
