This painting shows a simple landscape of Ambleside at the head of Lake Windermere. The artist used soft watercolours to depict the scene. It's interesting that the artist, Francis Towne, started as a coach painter and later moved to landscape painting, which might explain the simplicity of his work. You can learn more about his style by looking at the work of artist: Towne, Francis.
