Set in what appears to be a village, the composition shows a small group of men gathered under the shade of a tree near a sun-washed building. Some stand in conversation, others sit on simple benches, while one man walks with a tray of tea—each figure engaged in peaceful, communal activity.
The artist uses soft earth tones, warm beiges, sage greens, and muted blues, with dappled shadows that suggest the play of late afternoon light. The watercolor technique lends a lightness and fluidity to the scene, enhancing its sense of calm and nostalgia. Architectural details such as the flat-roofed buildings and cobblestone ground root the painting in a specific cultural and regional atmosphere.
The work is signed in the bottom right corner, indicating it is an original piece. It is presented in an ornate rectangular frame with a gold finish and swirling decorative trim that adds a touch of classical elegance to the piece.
