The painting depicts a nocturnal landscape dominated by a large, vibrant orange moon in a deep blue sky. A small, white house with a single illuminated window sits on a hill, beside a slender dark tree. The impasto technique creates a textured, almost impressionistic effect. Dark silhouettes of hills and trees form a backdrop, adding depth to the scene. The overall mood is serene and slightly melancholic, emphasizing the quiet solitude of the night. The use of light and dark contrasts is particularly striking.
