Two old cypress trees grow entwined in a garden, their foliage covering the sky. Five children are seen below: one, half-naked, stands on his head while two others clap their hands and encourage from the side. At the left, another child, carrying a baby on his back, hears the commotion and comes to investigate. The concentration in the children's eyes is well-depicted; portrayed in various actions. Their manners and attitudes are filled with vitality.
