Dating from approximately the late 19th to early 20th century, the painting is particularly impressive at 31.5 inches high by 39.5 inches wide, including its substantial and richly ornamented gilt frame. The painting is signed indistinctly in the lower left corner.

The artist employs loose, expressive brushwork throughout, particularly in the foreground vegetation, where areas of richly worked impasto give the surface considerable texture and vitality. The work reflects the influence of European plein-air and Impressionist landscape painting, emphasizing atmosphere, natural light, and the picturesque character of everyday village architecture. Especially noteworthy is the painting's elaborate antique gilt frame.
