The work depicts a genre scene set in a wooded landscape, with three female figures and two children in the foreground.

The composition highlights stylistic references to Pre-Raphaelite culture, evident in the positioning of the figures, the setting, and the iconographic references.

Painted in tempera on stiff cardboard, the support measures 55 x 103 x 1.5 cm and was subsequently mounted on a medium density fibreboard panel for conservation purposes.

The work is presented in a non-contemporary, recently made frame, sculpted and lacquered with classical motifs, complete with anti-reflective glass; overall dimensions with frame: 78 x 126 x 7 cm.

The work is in good condition, with signs of wear consistent with its age and use. See less
