This painting draws on the ideas of Paul Sérusier and the Les Nabis, particularly the belief that colour can construct an image rather than simply describe it. The landscape is simplified into interlocking planes of colour. Trunks become vertical anchors while surrounding shapes shift and press against them. Rather than depicting the scene naturalistically, colour is used intuitively, responding to rhythm, balance and emotional tone.
