The artist's fascination with natural light and its influence on color and texture is expressed here by the figures in the village, who create a scene of everyday life illuminated by a bright white light that enhances the colors yellow, blue, purple and red. The wall of one of the houses is also painted a bright yellow color which brightens the whole scene.
