A curving track enters the woods from the foreground and bends into shadow beneath dense foliage. The canopy forms a continuous green mass across the upper canvas, while sunlit grass and earth break through below. Areas of green and ochre describe ground, leaves and shade with a blunt, physical immediacy.
