A large tree can be seen behind a stone wall that stands along a path. The tree is half flowering, half dead. In the forefront are two children—a boy who stands upon the wall reaching at the branches; and a girl who sits upon the wall, reading a book. In the upper right-hand corner, behind the initials of the plate's owner, is part of a building, namely a roof and a steeple.
