About this work

Park with a country house. View from a terrace with a tiled floor on which stands a chair with a viola da gamba leaning against it. Slightly behind, a walking couple with a dog. On either side of the terrace stand pots with orange trees. On the rim of the left pot sits a hoopoe, on the rim of the right pot a hornbill. To the right, a wall with statues and a long pond, in the background a country house. Above the terrace, a blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna) perched on a stick, further also other birds including a black crowned crane and a peacock. Part of a six-part room decoration, another part of which is preserved in the collection of the Musée de la Chartreuse, Douai.
