The painting depicts a serene garden scene, with a woman reclining on a stone bench, wearing a flowing yellow gown. To her left, another woman sits, dressed in a green robe and hood, holding a bow and arrow. The garden is lush, with green grass and flowers, and a white peacock stands in the foreground. In the background, a stone wall stretches across the painting, with a few birds flying overhead. The sky above is a soft, pale color, adding to the overall sense of calm. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Thomas Dewing, an artist known for his use of chiaroscuro, impasto, and glazing techniques.
