The landscape includes a wheat field, bushes, two tall cypress trees and some poppies near the bottom and front of the painting.
These curving and graceful pine trees are the very souls to the painting. Cezanne’s depiction of the forest in this particular painting echoes his deep respect for nature due to the subtle play of light on dark and the harmonious quality created by his perspective and brushstrokes.
