Summer garden. Morning shadows

Nude marble statues on stone pedestals stand in the foreground, framing a paved walk that leads to a round fountain pool ringed by further statues and slender jets of spraying water. A pillared, domed pavilion shows through a screen of shrubs and trees beyond the pool, the whole enclosure shaded by tall surrounding trees.

Cooler blue-greens and silvery light dominate the scene, with soft pink-toned dapples of sun breaking across the paving stones. Brushwork stays loose and textured throughout. Morning light filtering through the leaves creates a hazy, screen-like pattern of light and shade, lending the garden a quieter, more contemplative mood than a sunlit afternoon view.
