The image depicts a village street from a slightly elevated angle. The horizon is in the upper third of the painting, showing the tops of houses and trees against the sky. The brushstrokes are loose and fluid, with visible lines and washes creating an impressionistic style. The color palette consists of soft browns, greens, blues, grays, and reds. A dirt road leads in two directions, one towards a thatched-roof building on the right, and the other into the village where a horse-drawn cart and a figure in blue are visible. In the distance, more houses and greenery can be seen, guiding the viewer's eye towards the vanishing point.
