DescriptionThis loosely painted oil on board depicts a green landscape with a couple walking on a curving path next to a reflecting pool. A sculpture stands in the center of the reflecting pool. Leafy green trees line the left side of the path, which leads to a large structure in the distance that is partially obscured by the sculpture. The man wears a red uniform, hat, and sword, while the woman wears a white gown.
