The painting depicts a peaceful scene of village life. The center of attention is a happy girl holding a piece of watermelon, enjoying the sunny day. Behind her, a woman, engrossed in cooking, is immersed in her chores, while an old woman sits on a chair watching the world around her. In the distance you can see a man on a horse, which adds dynamics to the composition. All the characters harmoniously fit into the ideal of life, where nature and tradition neighbor with simple pleasures.
