This idyllic Italian garden with its elegant figures, classical sculptures and tall, slender Mediterranean trees is a product of Frederick de Moucheron’s imagination. As far as we know he never visited Italy, but the picture is probably based on drawings and sketches by artists who had. De Moucheron gives the impression of a tamed area that has been hewn out of a much wilder landscape, with sculptures and a fountain enjoyed by aristocratic people at leisure. Two young peasant women come running up from where the hillside drops away; one waves across at two aristocratic young men. One of the men points at the women while looking at his companion. A third man leans over the stone bath, displaying his splendid bright blue breeches and stockings.
