Henri Jourdain has a recognizable style close to symbolist landscape painters such as Maurice Chabas or even English landscapers of the late 19th century. The theme of the landscape with a river in autumnal colors with a path running alongside it is recurrent in his painted work. Here a carriage and the gate of a property are added, together rendering a great decorative effect in this composition by a painter who was also an illustrator (Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert, 1912, Monsieur de Lourdines by Alphonse de Chateaubriant, 1929 or Les Lettres de mon moulin by Alphonse Daudet).
