Español: Un cuento del Decamerón

Un grupo de jóvenes elegantes, mujeres y hombres, descansa en un jardín soleado junto a una fuente de piedra, mientras un hombre con túnica roja y medias a rayas toca el laúd. Los vestidos de tonos rosa, dorado y violeta, y la hierba florecida enmarcan la escena, pintada al óleo con gran detalle.
