Tall poplar trees rise vertically across the canvas, their slender trunks stretching from the dense green undergrowth at the bottom edge to the uppermost part of the scene. The trees form a diagonal line that recedes into the distance from left to right, creating a sense of depth and movement within the landscape. The foliage is rendered in loose, textured strokes of green, blue, and touches of brown, suggesting the shimmering effect of wind passing through the leaves.

Above the trees, the sky dominates the upper half of the composition, filled with swirling, layered strokes of pale blue, lavender, and white, evoking shifting clouds and changing light. The trunks and branches are painted with a mix of earthy browns and deep greens, their forms softened by the impressionistic handling of the brushwork. No human figures appear; the focus remains entirely on the natural elements and the play of light and air.

The hedge at the base of the poplars is indicated by a dense band of green, with varied brushstrokes that suggest both foliage and shadow. The composition is carefully balanced, with the tallest poplars placed just off-center, leading the eye along the row and into the open sky. The overall palette is cool and subdued, dominated by greens, blues, and soft purples, contributing to a tranquil yet dynamic atmosphere.

The left edge of the painting shows the tops of additional poplars, their trunks partially cropped by the border. Some of the poplar trunks are marked by irregular, broken lines of darker green, suggesting clinging vines or moss. The paint is applied in quick, visible strokes, especially in the sky and foliage, creating a sense of movement and texture throughout the scene.
