The scene is centred around an old country track that winds its way through the village.
It’s an idealised look back into a time gone by. A romantic notion of yesteryear.
The style and subject of the painting are reminiscent of some 17th-century Dutch landscape paintings. During this period, the Dutch middle classes looked to buy works they could relate to. Local scenes depicting everyday rural life.
