This painting shows a landscape of a town and harbor. In the foreground, people are gathered near a fountain, while others are on horseback or walking with dogs. A large tree stands to the left, and a staircase leads up to a building. In the distance, the town and harbor are visible, with rolling hills and mountains in the background. The sky is cloudy, with a few patches of blue peeking through. The painting is held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
