Surrounded by trees, dense foliage, and flowers, a bridge and mountains with the beginnings of a lush pastoral forest lead to viewer's eyes from the middle to the right portraying an idyllic setting. A couple, one holding a spear is ready to embark on his hunt adds fundamental interest to the verdure landscape scene.
