Detailed Description
A vibrant green garden scene depicts three people and several chickens. The composition is divided into two main groups. On the left, a man with a dark beard, wearing a blue shirt, dark pants, and a black cap, bends forward, appearing to tend to a patch of red flowers. A grey metal watering can rests on the grass near his feet. In the lower left foreground, a brown hen and a white hen peck at the ground, accompanied by two small yellow chicks. On the right side, a woman and a child are seated or reclining under the shade of a tree with a dark trunk and green foliage. The woman, with dark hair visible under a white and blue patterned hat, wears a light-colored, possibly white, dress with a full skirt that spreads across the grass. A red fan is visible near her. Beside her, a young child in a light blue outfit and a straw hat reclines on a white cloth or blanket, looking towards the viewer. The background features dense green trees and bushes, with scattered red blossoms. The foreground is dominated by broad strokes of bright green grass.
