"Munsinger Gardens."

A stone fountain in a small flower-lined pond is the focal point of this painting, with a mix of sunlight and shadow. A wooden footbridge leads to diverging paths in the right middle ground. A simple stone bench is behind the pond, to the left. Ornamental plants line the paths here and there.
