A stereoview depicting three figures in a rural courtyard before a stone building with a tiled roof: a man in a pith helmet, walking stick in hand and a folded easel or case slung across his back, stands at left; at right a bearded man in a smoking jacket, pipe in mouth, sits at a small portable easel with a boy standing beside him observing the work. The scene appears staged as a genre composition illustrating an itinerant or plein-air painter at work, set against a rustic backdrop of foliage and weathered masonry.
