Moonlight
1940

A pastoral landscape painting depicting rolling hills with lush greenery under a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. Sunlight breaks through the clouds, casting a warm glow on parts of the hills. A few scattered buildings, possibly farms, are nestled among the trees, and the overall mood is serene and contemplative.
