An autumnal scene set in a woodland glade, with the trunk of a large beech tree being the main focus. A young girl wearing a white cap, and holding yellow flowers and a bundle of sticks, stands behind to the right of the old tree. In the distant background, a man reaches up towards a tree branch. The scene is surrounded by bare trees and the ground is covered in deep red and auburn leaves. The realistic moss and bark detail on the tree is impressive.
