An oil painting depicts a group of Neanderthals walking along a dirt path through a lush, green landscape under a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground, a man with dark hair and a beard, wearing animal hides, carries a spear over his shoulder. A woman beside him, also in animal hides, carries a baby on her back and holds the hand of a small child walking next to her. Behind them, other adult Neanderthals and children follow the path. The path is surrounded by green grass and wildflowers. In the middle ground, dense forests of deciduous and coniferous trees stretch across rolling hills. In the background, a winding river flows through a valley, and distant mountains rise under the blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The overall scene suggests a nomadic journey through an ancient, untamed wilderness.
