Night Landscape
c. 1905

A serene painting of a dense forest at twilight with the setting sun casting a warm glow through the trees, reflecting off a still pond in the foreground. The trees are tall and slender, with the forest floor covered in fallen leaves, suggesting an autumnal setting. The colors are rich and dark, with shades of green, brown, and orange, creating a peaceful and contemplative mood.
