The painting shows a village scene on a sunny day, with the colorful foliage on the trees suggesting early autumn. The village consists of stone buildings with steeply pitched red roofs and people milling about outside; one person is riding a horse or donkey. A staircase leads uphill in the left side of the scene, vanishing amidst the trees. Swans swim on a pond in the foreground. In the center of the painting, a white lighthouse lantern rises above the trees, surrounded by a gallery, topped by a weathervane and flying a red flag.
