The composition is framed by rustic buildings to either side—on the right, a farmhouse with a thatched roof peeks through lush green trees, its facade textured and worn, speaking to the age and weathered history of the structures.Jettel's use of light and shadow subtly showcases the late afternoon sun, softening the landscape and creating a warm, inviting glow that permeates the scene.
