This painting shows a group of people gathered in an orchard. They are all wearing old-fashioned clothes and hats. There is a table with a basket of fruit on it. The people are sitting around the table, and some are standing up. The background is a grassy field with trees. The painting is done in a pointillist style, with lots of tiny dots of color. The colors are muted, with shades of green, blue, and yellow. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity. If you like this painting, you might also like the work of Théo van Rysselberghe.
