The scene is rendered in muted colors, with a blue sky visible above the rooftops. A notable detail is the use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts between light and dark areas, adding depth to the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of serenity, with the well and courtyard evoking a sense of tranquility.
