When he was in Alsace, Henner liked to stroll around Bernwiller and sketch or paint on the motif the landscapes that surrounded him.
This painting is part of this type of production: Henner depicts his village, whose bell tower can be recognized behind the trees, in a very schematic way.
The brushstroke is quick and fine, and you can see the wood of the support showing through under the paint. The presence of the road in the foreground brings the scene back into a form of reality.
