This painting shows a narrow, winding street in a desert town. The street is lined with tan buildings that have flat roofs and arched doorways. In the background, a large mountain rises up, covered in a light dusting of snow. The sky above is a clear blue. The artist has used warm colors to depict the scene, with shades of brown and beige dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of serenity and tranquility, with the peaceful street scene evoking a sense of calm.
