Mediterranean Terrace at Midday

This watercolor painting depicts a serene garden scene framed in elegant gold. The artwork showcases a sunlit terrace with potted citrus trees or flowering shrubs, alongside classical statuary resting on a stone balustrade. Rich shadows from what appears to be a large tree create depth and contrast with the bright sunlight that dapples across the manicured lawn and stone patio. The artist's loose, impressionistic brushwork beautifully captures the play of light and shadow while evoking the tranquil atmosphere of a formal European garden in summer.
