The figures are positioned in a relaxed manner, enjoying the idyllic setting. A stately home in the background hints at the wealth of the park's owner. The overall tone is tranquil and evocative of leisurely leisure. The piece exemplifies the Romantic genre, highlighting the beauty of nature and the peaceful existence of the upper class.
