Beneath this sky, the lush green of the meadow stretches towards the horizon, interrupted only by the shadows cast by the poplars.Adding a human element to this natural scene, a lone figure walks beside the road, cloaked in blue, further emphasizing the hues within the painting. This small but significant detail adds a sense of scale and solitude, highlighting the majestic height of the trees compared to the solitary human presence.Čordák's use of thick brushstrokes and rich, earthy colors evokes a sense of depth and texture, inviting the viewer to step into a moment of peaceful reflection beside the poplars.
