Forest Carpet
1924

A vibrant painting depicting a forest floor scattered with green leaves and plants, with the texture of the ground rendered in rich, earthy browns and the foliage in various shades of green. The scene is illuminated as if by dappled sunlight, creating a lively interplay of light and shadow.
