A park scene with many figures, including women and children, walking and playing under trees
Detailed Description
An outdoor park scene unfolds under a light gray, cloudy sky. A large tree trunk stands prominently in the center foreground, its leafy canopy extending across the top of the image. To the right, more trees with dense green foliage and patches of pink and purple blossoms fill the background. A low, dark green hedge or wall separates the foreground path from a distant cliff edge on the left. On this cliff, several small figures are visible, along with a small, light-colored structure topped with a spire. Beyond the cliff, a body of water meets a flat, green landscape under the horizon. In the midground and foreground, numerous figures populate a light brown, open area. Women in long dresses, some with bonnets, are seen walking or standing. Children are present, with one child in a blue dress kicking a white ball in the lower right. Another woman pushes a baby stroller on the far right. The figures are rendered with loose brushstrokes.
