Detailed Description
A green landscape is framed by dark, leafy trees on the left and right, with a bright blue sky and scattered white clouds in the upper center. In the foreground, a central group of five children is positioned. A girl in a green dress stands, extending her left arm towards a girl in a red dress who is seated on the ground, looking up. To the left of the standing girl, two other children, one in yellow and another in brown, are partially visible near the seated girl. A small, light-brown dog is also among this cluster, near the lower left. Further to the right, another child in a brown garment walks away from the central group, holding a tall staff topped with a white, star-like object. In the far left background, partially obscured by dense foliage, a white classical bust rests on a pedestal. The background on the right opens to a rolling green landscape dotted with distant trees and a small, light-colored building. The ground in the foreground is a mix of green and brown, appearing as a path or clearing.
