The image depicts a serene village scene set beside a flowing river. Dominating the foreground is a large watermill with an imposing wheel, perfectly aligned with the wooden structure of the mill itself. This mill is constructed from timber and stone, the warm brown tones of the wood contrasting with the grey of the stones, while its red-tiled roof complements the rustic ambiance. The giant waterwheel is in motion, indicating an active, working village.

The water reflects the buildings and surrounding scenery like a mirror, capturing the vibrant hues and rich textures from the structures and lush vegetation along its banks. The surface of the water has a slightly rippled effect, distorting the reflections delicately and enhancing the overall tranquility of the scene. A wooden pier extends into the water from the left side, constructed from aged, weathered planks, showcasing the craftsmanship of the village inhabitants.

Across the river from the watermill, several other timber-framed houses line the riverbank, their varied roof colors—ranging from red to blue—adding diversity to the visual palette. Each house has multiple windows, suggesting their residential nature, with small gardens and outdoor seating, hinting at the simple, agrarian lifestyle of the villagers.

In the background, a picturesque waterfall cascades down, its white frothy water standing out against the blue-green river and the darker foliage surrounding it. The waterfall is positioned among trees with dense, vibrant foliage in shades of green and orange, indicating a mix of deciduous trees possibly in the early stages of autumn.

Above, the sky is a gradient of soft hues, moving from a pale teal at the top to a warm, buttery yellow near the horizon. The fluffy clouds are tinged with golden light, suggesting either an early morning or late afternoon setting, bathing the entire scene in a gentle, calming light. This choice of colors and the detailed artistry of the trees and buildings infuses the image with a sense of nostalgia and peace, evoking a simpler, more harmonious time.
