Close-up view of a Dutch church surrounded by trees and a well-lit landscape in the background. The viewer is positioned looking beyond the church, along the lane where there are various figures depicted; some walking along the lane, others resting by the church, one with a basket of fruit. The people depicted are Dutch civilians in ordinary dress. The church to the right is a brick red colour and is cast in shadow, whereas behind the sun is illuminating the landscape creating a strong contrast. It appears to be Autumn as there are red and orange fallen leaves.
