Detailed Description
A wide landscape features a large stone castle under a clear, light blue sky. The light blue sky occupies the upper half of the image, showing subtle variations in tone. In the middle ground, a sprawling, light brown castle with numerous windows, battlements, and towers extends horizontally across the center. To the left of the castle, a steep, dark green, conical hill rises, topped with trees. A small red-roofed building is visible at the far left base of this hill. To the right of the castle, a cluster of smaller buildings with red roofs and a tall, slender church spire forms a settlement. The foreground features a broad, flat expanse of vibrant green grass. A narrow, dark green waterway, possibly a stream or ditch, runs horizontally through the field. On the far left, two light brown arched stone bridges cross this waterway. Several small figures are scattered across the field. Near the left bridge, a few dark figures walk. In the center-left, two women in long dresses, one with a blue top and white skirt, the other in yellow, are seated on the grass. A small dark dog is near them. Further right, a man in a white coat with red accents stands facing right. Other small figures are visible in the distance on the grass. A dark fence or hedge borders the right side of the field.
