The weathered textures and organic shapes of the trees and building lend a timeless charm to the scene. Tucked amongst the trees, on the right side of the painting, a solitary figure can be seen, adding a human element that invites viewers to imagine themselves in this idyllic location, enjoying a moment of quiet reflection by the water.Čordák's choice of palette, predominantly greens, browns, and blues, further instills a sense of calm and connection with nature.
