Description: | An Impressionist view along a village street lined with cottages on each side, looking downhill towards leafless trees in the distance. A woman walks towards the viewer along the pavement on the left. She is dressed in a shawl and apron and is carrying a basket. A man and woman on the right of the street, also dressed in peasant clothing, are conversing, the woman facing away and the man towards the viewer. There are two solitary figures further along the street in the background.
On the left of the street is a smooth wall with an overhanging leafy tree. A small patch of grass in the foreground to the right has a pond or flowerbed bordered off in the corner. Behind this patch of grass a path from the right joins the street. Behind the path are some bushes, a stone wall, and some leafless trees behind the wall. The general impression is of soft, dusky colours and dappled sunlight.
