At the centre is a solitary tree shown in dark silhouette, standing firmly on a small rise of land. Its wide, branching form creates a strong focal point and conveys a sense of stability and quiet presence. A simple fence runs along both sides of the tree, suggesting a rural setting and adding depth and balance to the composition. The sky is painted in smooth horizontal layers, moving from warm golden yellow near the horizon through orange and deep red tones, then gradually shifting into cooler grey and rich blue hues above. This colour gradient beautifully captures the fading light of dusk and the arrival of night. The blending of warm and cool colours creates a calm, reflective mood. In the upper portion of the sky, a soft, pale moon stands out against the darker blues. Its textured surface gives it a distinctive, almost tactile quality. Small white dots scattered across the sky resemble stars, enhancing the sense of quiet vastness and tranquility. Overall, the painting conveys a peaceful, contemplative atmosphere, celebrating the harmony of nature and the stillness found in moments of transition.
