This image is a lithograph depicting several figures gathered on a grassy area surrounded by trees. The horizon is subtly suggested by distant landscape lines with leafless trees. The lines in the image are delicate and expressive, giving a sense of movement. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of brown and beige, creating a warm sepia tone. The sky is partially cloudy, and branches and leaves frame the image.
