Clusters of orange trees fill the scene, their branches heavy with fruit that glows in shades of gold and tangerine against dense, blue-green foliage. The trees form a thick canopy, arching over a reddish-brown earth path that runs through the center of the composition and disappears into the shadows. Dappled sunlight filters through the leaves, scattering patches of pale light across the ground and highlighting the rounded forms of the oranges.

The sky, visible only in a narrow band at the top, is a muted, overcast blue-grey, lending a soft, diffused quality to the light throughout the grove. The brushwork is loose and expressive, with quick, visible strokes that suggest the texture of leaves and the shifting play of light rather than describing each detail precisely. Oranges are scattered throughout the branches, some clustered in groups and others hanging singly, their bright color standing out against the darker greens and blues of the foliage.

The overall palette is dominated by cool greens and blues, punctuated by the warm, saturated oranges and the earthy tones of the ground. The paint is applied in layers, with some areas of foliage rendered in deep, opaque tones and others in lighter, more transparent washes, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The orange trees are painted with a sense of abundance and vitality, their branches intertwining and overlapping to create a dense, almost impenetrable thicket.

No figures or animals are visible anywhere in the composition, and the grove appears empty of human presence. In the lower left corner, a signature is inscribed in dark paint against the reddish earth, standing out clearly from the background. The upper right corner contains a cluster of lighter green leaves, painted with broader, more luminous strokes than elsewhere in the foliage.

Light falls most strongly on the path in the foreground, where patches of pale, creamy color contrast sharply with the darker shadows beneath the trees. Some oranges at the edges are rendered with just a few dabs of paint, their round shapes suggested rather than fully outlined, blending into the surrounding leaves. Naranjos De Alcira (Orange Trees In Alcira) is the work of Joaquín Sorolla, whose name appears in the title line.
