This painting shows a park scene from an elevated viewpoint. In the center of the image is a tree-lined path. The green trees are tall and grow in straight rows on either side of the tan path. Small people in red, blue, and white outfits populate the scene. Some people walk in groups or sit on benches, while others carry baskets. To the right is a green field with grazing animals. In the distance there are white and tan buildings, including a spire and dome. The sky above is blue with light clouds.
