Detailed Description
A wide landscape painting depicts a wooded scene under a light blue sky, with a body of water visible in the background. The scene features dense green trees and rolling hills, with several groups of figures scattered throughout. In the left midground, under a large canopy of dark green trees, a couple is seated on a grassy slope. The man, dressed in a blue and brown tunic over light trousers, leans towards the woman, who wears a white and red striped dress. They are positioned closely, appearing to embrace. Behind them, partially obscured by the shadows of the trees, are several light-colored goats. The ground in this area is a mix of green grass and lighter, scrubby plants. In the lower right foreground, two small children are visible on a brown, rocky mound. One child, wearing a red garment, faces towards the left, while the other, in a darker garment, is positioned behind and slightly to the right. Further back on the right, amidst more trees and lighter green foliage, two adult male figures stand facing each other. One wears a red robe, and the other a darker one. The landscape features an uneven ground with grassy patches and earthy tones, leading towards the distant blue water.
