Fountain in a Summerhouse

Salomon Gessner

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a garden with a large arch structure covered in greenery and trellis work. In the center of the garden is a sculptural fountain with a female figure pouring water. A male figure stands nearby, and a distant statue is partially visible. The scene is intricately detailed with fine lines, and the color palette is monochromatic in shades of black and sepia. The garden's exit is visible in the distance, lined with trees and structures.
