This is a painting of a garden scene with figures seated and standing in contemplation. The image depicts a group of four figures, three of which are seated near a building with horizontal lines indicating bricks. The seated figures appear in various poses of meditation or contemplation with foliage surrounding them. To the right, there is a standing figure cloaked in heavy drapery next to the building. In the background, beyond the walls and seated figures, soft brushwork and washes of watercolor render the subtle outlines of hills or trees.
