Jardín bajo la luna o Quietud en la quinta is a 1500 unspecified by Pedro Figari, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
The painting features a serene landscape with a large, dark tree on the left and a smaller one on the right. In the center, a cow stands in front of a stone wall, while a person is visible behind it. The scene is set under a moonlit sky, with the moon itself not visible but its presence implied by the soft, gentle light. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible texture on the canvas. The color palette is muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray dominating the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the painting.
