Detailed Description
A sunlit garden scene features four figures. In the foreground, to the left, a woman with light skin sits on green grass, facing right. She wears a long-sleeved dark dress with a high collar and a straw bonnet adorned with light blue, pink, and beige fabric patches. Her left hand rests on the grass, and her right hand is in her lap. A closed, dark umbrella lies on the grass in front of her. To her right, in the mid-ground, a young girl with light skin lies on her stomach on a white, furry blanket spread over the grass. She wears a light pink dress and a bonnet similar to the woman's, but with a blue ribbon. Her face is turned forward, and her lips are slightly curved upwards. Her arms are bent, and her hands are clasped in front of her. Further back, to the right, another woman with light skin sits on a low, reddish-brown brick wall. She wears a dark, patterned dress and is positioned near a young boy who stands in front of her. The boy, also with light skin, wears a dark suit and holds a light-colored object in his hand. Behind them, a large, open umbrella with colorful patterns, including red, blue, and yellow, lies on the blanket. A dark red blanket and a blue cushion are also visible on the grass near the umbrella. The background features a dense garden with various shades of green foliage, including tall trees and bushes. Red flowers bloom in the mid-ground, and a winding path is visible in the upper left, leading through more greenery. The scene is bathed in bright sunlight, creating distinct shadows on the grass.
