Dawn in the clearing. A pair of moose—bull and cow—thread through the stripped pines, grazing on the new growth. Last light glazes the tops of the trees in the distance. Rungius is in a Impressionistic mood here, combining soft shapes, stippled and scumbled impastos of paint to create a luxuriant, tranquil scene.
