This landscape is clearly constructed and painted in detail. You can see everything very distinctly: the ground, the trees, the sky. The light falls in such a way that two elements stand out: the majestic tree on the left, and the woodworkers on the right. The people are tiny next to nature itself, presented here as larger and stronger than them.
