A white, circular fountain rises at the center of the composition, its rim catching the light and standing out against the darker, reflective water below. Green foliage emerges from the basin, their leaves reaching upward and outward, some catching touches of yellow and blue from the sunlight. The water’s surface is alive with reflections, echoing the shapes of the plants and the fountain itself in blurred, shimmering forms.

Broad, visible brushstrokes sweep across the canvas, especially in the lower half, where strokes of olive, ochre, and deep green suggest floating leaves and the play of light on water. The upper background is rendered in muted, earthy tones, with hints of architectural structure and garden walls barely suggested through loose, horizontal strokes. Dabs and streaks of paint in the lower right and left corners evoke the dense growth and shadowy depths of the pond, while the central area remains luminous and open.

The palette is dominated by greens and yellows, punctuated by the crisp white of the fountain and subtle blues in the leaves, creating a sense of freshness and movement. The brushwork varies from thick, textured marks in the foliage to smoother, more fluid strokes in the water, capturing both the solidity of the plants and the ephemeral quality of their reflections. Small, scattered flecks of yellow across the water’s surface suggest fallen petals or sunlight glinting on ripples, adding to the sense of a living, changing scene.

In the upper left corner, a cluster of blue-green leaves is painted with loose, vertical strokes, partially obscured by shadow. The background features a horizontal band of reddish-brown that hints at a low wall or border behind the fountain. Along the bottom edge, streaks of dark green and brown paint suggest dense undergrowth or submerged plants.

The light falls most strongly on the upper rim of the fountain and the tops of several leaves, casting the rest of the scene in deep shadow. The paint is applied in sweeping, almost transparent layers in some areas, especially on the water, allowing underlying colors to show through and create a sense of depth.
