Van Gogh's artistic style is unmistakable in this painting, with his thick, expressive brushstrokes creating a vibrant and dynamic texture across the surface of the work. The composition of the painting is very interesting, with a path stretching towards the horizon and female figures walking along it. The perspective is very well achieved, with the feeling of depth and distance that is created through the arrangement of the elements in the painting.
Color is another prominent aspect of this work, with a palette of warm and bright tones that evoke the light and warmth of the sun. Yellow and orange tones dominate the painting, creating a feeling of joy and vitality. The details of the female figures are very interesting, with their dresses and hats showing the fashion of the time.

Despite suffering from mental problems, Van Gogh found solace and beauty in nature and in the daily life of the French countryside. This painting is a testament to his love of life and his ability to find beauty in the simplest of moments.
