Oil painting of a landscape of burnt down trees. The trees are painted smoothly in cool gray, green, and purple tones. The inside of the hollow trunks are visible and the trees’ roots curl around a barren dirt ground. One central tree dominates the foreground. Behind this tree are other burnt down/fallen trees. In the background, there are two forested mountains and one snow-capped mountain. The sky above is populated with green-grey clouds.
