An 18th century landscape garden showing people in clothing of that time - ladies in large, full-length dresses and men in formal long silk jackets or cloaks. They are gathered around a lake with swans on. It includes a lady at an art easel, a mother and young child and a couple fishing. Behind are rolling hills with cows and sheep in them, beneath a blue, cloud-filled sky.
