Seaside Village, painted circa 1905, captures a serene and picturesque view of a village by the sea.

In the foreground, the calm and reflective water suggests a harbor or inlet, with boats moored along the wooden docks, indicating the village's relationship with the sea, likely as a source of livelihood. The middle distance shows buildings with characteristic architectural features of the late 19th or early 20th century, their facades illuminated by what seems to be soft sunlight, implying it might be morning or late afternoon.

The village is nestled among trees, which adds a sense of coziness and shelter. The sky is painted with soft, fluffy clouds, suggesting a peaceful day. Rolph's technique exhibits careful control of the watercolor medium, with clear colors and defined details that convey the charm of the village.
