DescriptionAn idyllic scene of revelers lounging in a grove of trees surrounding a small pond. In the foreground, a man plays the guitar for two young ladies and their resting dogs, while a couple at left admires a fountain. Across the small pond, more well-dressed people lounge on the grass, just beyond the grove behind them, the small buildings of a village can be seen.
