In the middle, in a pink frame on a blue— wallpaper-like— ground with oblique stripes, there is a pastoral idyll featuring three figures in an irregular field framed with painted spangles. Bouquets of flowers branch out on each side from the bottom part of the frame. Above the flowers small oval pictures framed by gold ribbon hang on drapery. On the sticks a male and female figure can be seen in the middle, beside them there is a vase with flowers. On the upper part of each guard-stick is a young shepherd.
