Figures of men wearing wide-brimmed hats stand or sit respectively upon the terrace. A balustrade forms the rear enclosure--a part of it is shown forming a corner with the architecture. Another fountain stands in the garden in the right distance. Framed by an ovoidal moulding which is inscribed into a vertical oblong.
