Description de l’image
The painting depicts a lush jungle with dense foliage blocking the horizon. In the distance, a small body of water can be seen with boats carrying figures. The brushstrokes create textures depicting the tropical vegetation, using a color palette dominated by green shades with some brown and black accents, along with splashes of red and blue.
