This impressionist-style oil painting depicts a sun-drenched garden terrace. In the foreground, a woman wearing a long dark dress and a wide-brimmed straw hat stands at a stone table, tending to a small potted plant. Beside her, to the right, sits a classic stone well or pedestal structure, creating a balanced focal point in the lower half of the composition.
Behind the woman, a set of wide stone stairs leads upward toward a hidden path, flanked by dense foliage and greenery. A wooden trellis structure extends over the entire area, casting dappled shadows across the stone-paved ground. The light is bright and warm, suggesting a late afternoon sun filtering through the overhead vines, which are rendered in shades of vibrant green, ochre, and gold.
The colour palette is dominated by warm earth tones—terracotta, sandstone, and muted browns—offset by the rich greens of the climbing plants. The brushwork is loose and textured, characteristic of the impressionist style, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow on the stone surfaces. Various clay pots and lush garden plants occupy the periphery, adding depth and a sense of a lived-in, tranquil outdoor retreat. The artist's signature, "M. Egner," is visible in the bottom left corner.
