A narrow footpath curls up from the lower right and wanders off across the high pasture, past a pale outcrop of limestone and through grass touched with heather pink. Far ahead, a few dark pines dot the slopes and the valley narrows to a gentle pass beneath cloud. The scene has the unhurried feel of a long summer walk with nowhere particular to be.
A path leading into the distance gives depth to an entryway or a narrow hall, and it is equally at home in a study or office. Part of the Mountain Valley in Summer collection, nine paintings of one quiet mountain valley, it pairs well with The Shepherd's Shelter and Along the Lake Shore.
