The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a group of five people around a large stone planter with a circular cutout on the front and a large urn on top. The planter sits on a grassy area with water surrounding the base. A man in a black suit sits on the left side of the planter, while another man stands on the right side of the planter. A woman in a long dark dress stands to the right of the planter, and two people in dark clothing and white head coverings stand to the right of the urn. In the background, there are trees, a body of water with a boat, and a town or village on the left side. The sky is light-colored with clouds. The scene appears to be set in a park or garden. The title of the piece is "Untitled". The artist is not specified.
