Ideal view of a southern, magnificent palace building, which pulls in the sunlight from the left in the middle, left before lighted by windows covered by a loggia with round arches, supported by four pillars with composite black.Right eye in the vast garden, which is created after the Renaissance garden scheme, with Balustradeneinfassung, geometrically designed flower beds, fountains and a bronze figures behind trapped by a cut in sheets hedge.On the right side of building another park in the sunlight, with a vaulted roof top, worn by Hermenpfeilern, in the right corner, another figure well on which sits a peacock. The figure presented in staffage moralizing sense. At the table sits under the loggia, a ruler with ermine collar and turban who looks sullenly at a beggar sitting on the steps and feel the bread crumbs with the two dogs standing at his feet must share, while a young man standing between the pillars he met with resistant hand position. Left on the table a man with jug, facing a woman who shows an equally imperious gaze.Further details appear as fine as red parrot on the railing in the background, niche figures at the Palace building or a landscape painting on the back wall of the loggia.
