A rich composition; a Shepherd accompanying on the transverse flute a Shepherdess who sings; they are seated against a vast monument; on either side animals, turkey hens, ducks, rabbits, fruits, and various characters: some are driving flocks, and others are watching the first couple. This beautiful composition ends on the horizon with a mountainous landscape and monuments.
