Three individuals are depicted in a garden setting. A woman is seated on the ground, leaning back slightly with her upper body supported by her arms, gazing upwards towards a man who is kneeling beside her while holding her hand. The woman has curly hair and wears a flowing dress with a ruffled neckline. The man, who leans towards her, is dressed in a coat and breeches and has his hair tied back. Behind them, a second woman walks towards them. She wears a large hat adorned with bows and a full-length dress with wide skirts, and her hair is styled in curls under her hat. The first woman and the man both appear relaxed, surrounded by dense foliage. Near them, a small dog lies on the ground. To the left of the image, there is a statue of a cherub on a pedestal. In the background, tall trees frame the scene, and fluffy clouds are visible in the sky above.
