The composition is filled with energy and life, reflecting the beauty and simplicity of everyday rural life. The foreground is dominated by golden and lavender fields, painted with thick, textured brushstrokes that give the impression of wild grass and blooming flowers. The bright yellow and purple tones create a sense of vitality and movement, suggesting that the grass is swaying gently in the breeze. In the midst of the field, a group of white geese with red beaks are strolling across the street. Their playful and animated presence adds a charming, lively element to the painting, emphasizing the close connection between nature and rural life. The middle ground features a row of traditional village houses, painted in vivid colors such as deep blue, green, and orange.

Several wooden poles with electrical wires stretch across the composition, hinting at the presence of modern life within this rustic setting. The poles add a sense of structure and balance to the painting, breaking up the swirling, dynamic brushstrokes of the landscape. The background features a bright blue sky, painted with soft, swirling clouds that add depth and movement to the scene. The light turquoise and white tones of the sky contrast beautifully with the warm earth tones of the village, creating a harmonious balance between the natural and built environments. The sky's openness conveys a sense of freedom and peace, suggesting that the village is a place where life moves at a slower, more relaxed pace.
