The viewer might assume that the mountain is closer than the tree.
Explanation:
In order to depict a scene in a picture as it appears to the eyes, the artist uses various tricks and traits to create the scene as it is.
One such trick is that of the separation of the foreground and the background.
In order to show that the background and the foreground are far away from each other, the artist chooses to paint the objects in the background a little too blurred and the objects in the foreground a little too sharp.
