Rewald (1996) noted that the paint is thinly applied, diluted perhaps with turpentine, like a watercolor.
Venturi (1936) described the colors in the painting as: "Arbres verts et bleus. Mur et montagnes jaune-orange. Toits rouges. Toutes les couleurs se reflètent dans l'eau. Toile découverte; quelques touches bleues pour le ciel."
