The yellowish-greenish leaf, which depicts an autumn garden, is framed by a narrow row of scallops and flowers. In the middle of the garden, by a jug-shaped, Rococo fountain, sits a young girl with her hands on her hips, her basket beside her, and her red parasol thrown to the ground. In front of her, the lady-member of an aristocratic couple strolling arm in arm is observing the girl through a lorgnette. The mark is in the bottom left: I. Donzel Gilos. A narrow double band of gold frames the uncoloured verso. A flower festoon with a scallop motif embellishes the sticks and guard-sticks.
