The ground beneath is carpeted with fallen leaves, adding texture and a sense of movement to the painting. Above the landscape, the sky takes on a muted palette of gray and white, echoing the coolness of the season. The artist has expertly captured the ever-changing sky, with wisps of clouds floating gently across the horizon, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the scene.
