The image depicts a symmetrical garden scene with a path leading to a small architectural structure in the center. The structure resembles a pavilion or garden house and is surrounded by bushes and trees. The brushstrokes are minimalistic and use bold lines to define the foliage. The color palette is monochromatic, using black and white. Close to the viewer are rounded shrubs and shadows, suggesting depth and texture. The overall atmosphere is contemplative and serene.
