Landscape scene with figures that evokes the pictorial language of Catalan landscape painting of the early twentieth century. The composition presents a rural environment animated by several children's figures located next to a small bridge or elevated road, integrated in a luminous atmosphere of Mediterranean character.

The work is resolved by means of loose and gestural brushstrokes, applied with a certain amount of material and with a predominance of color spots that build the landscape in a synthetic way. The warm palette of ochers, yellows, violets and blues suggests the effects of light and chromatic vibration typical of the Mediterranean landscape, frequent resources in the Catalan landscape tradition.
