Beautiful (probably) Veluwe's (Dutch location) work of an older but strong woman who walks on the path with the dog. The dog looks at the woman encouragingly, waiting to see what will happen. Dressed in traditional costume, she tries to make the most of it. In the background on the left the contours of a hay barn are just visible. Despite the fact that everything is in full bloom, beautiful light is visible on the painting through the trees and shrubs, so that these details are clearly painted by the artist Martens.
