This painting shows a lively scene of people strolling along a tree-lined promenade. The scene is set in a park with tall trees and a large building with many windows on the right side. In the foreground, people are gathered around a woman who appears to be selling something from a basket. The artist has used a range of techniques to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The trees and buildings are rendered in detail, while the people in the foreground are more loosely sketched.
