Description: The painting features a theatrical and scenographic composition, typical of the Lorraine tradition. On the sides, the scene is framed by natural elements, such as tall, shady trees that act as stage wings. This compositional layout guides the viewer's gaze towards the background, almost inviting him to "enter" the scene. The human figures animate the foreground, rich in contrasting vegetation and strong chiaroscuro effects.
The second floor opens up to the river view, dominated by a wide light. The watercourse winds gently through the landscape, accompanying the gaze. In the distance, an airy and wide view opens up, under a sky with pearly and pink tones—typical of the Lorraine landscape. The grazing light suggests a time of day between late afternoon and dawn. The atmospheric perspective is rendered with great delicacy, and gives a sense of immense, almost spiritual distance.
Although unsigned, the work clearly reveals the influence of Claude Lorrain, both in the spatial layout and in the poetic use of light. The current frame, although not contemporary, is of fine workmanship, with rich and deep carving decoration. The original gilding, well preserved, gives a bright frame, highlighting the painting.
