The image shows a garden scene with a man-made waterfall and a stone lion surrounded by trees. The horizon is obstructed by foliage, creating a sense of seclusion. Loose brushstrokes suggest textured leaves and soft light. The color palette is sepia with hints of charcoal and light washes. Two statues stand near a stone parapet with large pots. In the distance, an archway and garden walls are partly visible behind the dense trees.
