Summary

There is a group of well-dressed women lounging on a grassy glade lit by beams of sunshine coming in through the trees. There are goblets and plates on a cloth-covered table on the left, and a discarded parasol on the right with an upturned stool. In the background there is a white building with birds flying above it.
