The painting depicts a tranquil, narrow alleyway lined with warm-toned walls, guiding the viewer's eye towards the lush greenery of trees and bushes in the distance, under a muted, overcast sky. The soft, impressionistic brushstrokes imbue the scene with a dreamy quality, capturing the quiet, introspective atmosphere of the street. A lone figure is scarcely visible, standing along the left wall, adding a sense of scale and solitude to the composition.
