Wooded Landscape

In this serene painting, an expansive forest path stretches under a canopy of towering trees with lush, green foliage, capturing the delicate interplay of light and shadow as sunlight filters through the leaves, illuminating patches of the dirt trail. A woman, dressed in traditional attire, peacefully walks along the path with cattle, creating a sense of harmony with nature. In the distance, other figures are visible, engaged in leisurely activities as the sky transitions from blue to a soft, golden hue, hinting at either dawn or nearing the end of day.
