The image shows two people sitting outside. The woman is standing to the left, leaning forward with one foot on an overturned chair, while the man is reclined in a chair with his arm over the backrest. The woman has elegant curled hair and wears a decorative hat, with delicate facial features and intricate clothing. The man wears clothing typical of 18th-century fashion. A small dog sits nearby. They are in front of a large stone structure, possibly a pedestal with a sculpture on top. The background includes trimmed hedges, tall trees, and cloudy skies, suggesting a formal garden setting.
