- This painting shows a scene set in a courtyard with high white walls that is open to the sky. Beyond the wall there is flowering vegetation, tall trees and a tower with a balustrade with keyhole shaped openings.

There is bright sunlight streaming into the room which creates shadows on the walls and floor.
