The painting depicts a woman with her children, enjoying a sunny day outdoors. In the background young people play with a ball and other tools, while the mother in the foreground attracts the attention of her youngest daughter with the help of a bird that lands on the small perch she holds in her hand. The characters are embellished with elegant and detailed clothes; the pictorial line is soft but precise, with attention to realistic rendering and a brightness that gives strength to the painting.
