Detailed Description
A man and a woman are seated in a dense forest landscape. On the left, the man sits on a low, mossy rock. He wears a bright red coat with gold embroidery, a white ruffled shirt, and black knee-high boots. A small, fluffy white dog rests on his lap, looking towards the viewer. His powdered white wig frames a round face. Behind him, a hunting rifle leans against a tree trunk. On the right, the woman sits on a slightly higher rock. She wears an elaborate light blue gown with a wide skirt, trimmed with white lace and ruffles. A dark, possibly black, lace shawl drapes over her shoulders. Her powdered white hair is adorned with a small white flower. She holds several strands of pink string that extend towards the man. A wide-brimmed yellow hat with a pink ribbon rests on the rock beside her. In the lower right foreground, two hunting dogs are visible. One, primarily white with brown markings, looks down at a dead bird, possibly a pheasant, lying on the ground. The other dog, mostly white, is partially obscured behind the first. A small red object is also visible near the bird. The background features a dense forest with varying shades of green foliage. Glimpses of a lighter, possibly overcast, sky are visible through the trees. The ground is a mix of dark earth and green vegetation.
