The image is an etching of a garden with a fountain complex. The view is slightly elevated, showing the fountain at the center. Flanking the fountain are two pavilions with statues, surrounded by trees. The artist used detailed lines and shading to create a monochromatic scene. Figures in 18th-century clothing gather around the fountain.
