In the lower register of the surface of this work, there is a golden tones agricultural field, where people are working. These small-scale human figures are only suggested by the colorful brushstrokes of their robes.
In the background, a dense grove of trees surrounds the brightness of the village houses and the bell tower of the church, which extends throughout the length of the work.
The rest of the landscape acquires blue shades of different gradations, merging with the blue of the sky.
The linear perspective has full arrangement with the aerial perspective, applying a progressive gradient of the tones and the intensity of the color. Light and color are the fundamental components in the work of Carlos Reis.
