Summer Landscape in the Laurentians by Goodridge Roberts is an 11 x 14 oil painting signed on the bottom right corner. The scene captures a clearing with a bare path cutting through dense, green shrubbery and low trees. A solitary, off-kilter tree stands in the foreground to the west, balancing the composition from the sky to the ground. In the background, sloping forest is brushed in forest green with a hint of blue.

The brushwork is broad and expressive, giving the foliage a loose, almost abstract texture, with accompanying streaks of blue sky, clear of clouds or birds. The focus is on shape and form of the natural landscape rather than detailing. Traditional of Roberts with the theme of the natural, calm Canadian landscape.
