In this painting, you see a street scene with several buildings and gasometers in the background. The gasometers are large, cylindrical structures with metal frames and red roofs. In the foreground, there is a dirt road with grassy areas on either side. A few buildings are visible, including a small house with a red roof and a larger building with a white facade. The painting is done in a pointillist style, with small dots of color used to create the image. The overall effect is one of softness and subtlety, with the colors blending together to create a sense of depth and atmosphere.
