DescriptionA group of boys and girls play on a grassy hill in the foreground. One boy holds a hoop, another holds a kite. A dog sits nearby. Men with top hats and canes and women with parasols walk down the hill behind them. At the foot of the hill, a broad street lined with large buildings reaches to the horizon. Horse-drawn vehicles are in the street, and men, women, and children walk on the sidewalks. A second street on the far left winds up another hill towards a castle, which is silhouetted against the sky. Smoke issues from some chimneys. A building with a large dome is on the right. A high hill or mountain is in the right background.
