Detailed Description
A wide, open landscape appears under a light blue sky with scattered white and gray clouds. In the distance, a range of light blue mountains stretches across the horizon. Below the mountains, a line of trees and a low, light brown wall separates the background from the midground. The midground features a large, multi-story white building with a brown roof, centrally located on a green hill. It has multiple windows and a small balcony. To its left, a smaller, single-story building with a red roof and columns is visible. To the right of the central building, another long, arcaded building with a brown roof and numerous arches stands on the hill. Further to the right, another white building with a brown roof is partially obscured by trees. The foreground is a vast, sloping green lawn. Several small groups of figures are scattered across this lawn. In the lower left, two men stand near a white bench, one wearing a dark coat and the other a red cloak, with a third figure on horseback nearby. In the center-right, a group of three people, two women in blue and pink dresses and a man in a dark coat, walk with a small white dog. Other smaller figures and a few horses are visible further up the lawn, near the buildings.
