The people are wearing old-fashioned clothes and hats. The scenes are drawn in a simple, realistic style. The people are shown in everyday poses, not doing anything dramatic. The artist has used a limited color palette, with lots of grays and browns. The painting is a good example of American Impressionism, which focused on everyday life and landscapes.
