Description

A man in a light shirt and trousers sits in a canvas deck chair with his legs crossed, and a woman in a pale dress rests in a chair to the right. Behind them a table holds hats and other items, and a large pine tree stands beyond the wooden posts of the covered terrace. The ground is bare earth with scattered stones, and more folding chairs stand at the edges.
