Seen from an elevated, storybook-map viewpoint, a circular open-air market of wooden stalls rings a large golden-leaved tree on the village green. Baskets and stalls overflow with pumpkins, gourds, pears, apples and cut flowers. A curving dirt road winds past white clapboard houses, shops and one pink cottage, with patchwork farmland and soft hills beyond.

Flattened, naive forms and small dabbed and hatched strokes give foliage and rooftops a stitched, woven look over visible canvas grain. Dense borders of pink, peach and yellow blossoms frame the foreground in soft, even overcast light.
