Summer

A large, thick-trunked tree with pale bark and full green foliage dominates the composition, its branches spreading across most of the canvas. At its base, a small child in a red sleeveless top and rolled trousers sits barefoot in the grass, holding a dandelion and leaning back against the bark, with a book or paper lying open nearby. Behind, a sunlit meadow scattered with white dandelion puffs stretches toward a line of distant trees.

Dappled light filters through the canopy, breaking the greens into countless small strokes of yellow, olive and blue-grey. The brushwork is loose and textured throughout, built up with visible strokes that describe bark, leaves and grass without fine detail. Warm sunlight and cool shade alternate across the scene, creating a quiet, unhurried summer stillness centered on the small figure beneath the tree.
