Untitled (Man Working in a Garden)

The painting depicts a serene village scene with several thatched-roof cottages nestled among bare trees. In the garden, a solitary figure tends to plants amidst patches of greenery, while a low wooden fence runs along the foreground, guiding the viewer’s eye into the tranquil landscape under a pastel sky.
