In this idealised landscape peasants can be seen resting by the roadside while others go about their business on horseback. At the centre is a ruined tower. The way in which the figures are arranged within the landscape as if on a stage is characteristic of Zais, who enjoyed a successful career as a landscape painter in Venice for nearly fifty years.
