Warm, earthy colors, typical of autumn, dominate the work: dried orange and brown leaves are scattered on the ground, creating a contrast with the green of the remaining vegetation. Three figures are present in the scene: a woman sitting by a large tree, her back turned, and two people in the background, one of whom appears intent on handling a basket or cradle.
The atmosphere is quiet and intimate, with soft, nuanced brushwork suggesting a bright but calm autumn afternoon. The composition and colors used evoke a sense of tranquility and nostalgia, common characteristics of autumn. The work has an impressionist flavor, as Carpanetto chose to emphasize the effect of light on natural elements and figures, rather than focusing on minute details.
