A lovely sampler of a bucolic view with a two story house, a large tree filled with many birds on the L, smaller trees and potted flowers on the far R and L. A young girl walks toward the L. Across the bottom a large green pasture with many farm animals and flowers. A young girl walks towards the R. At the top a blue sky filled with small clouds completes the scene.
